Oh, why won't Marvin K. Mooney just please go now? In this 1972 classic for »beginning beginners,« Dr. Seuss devotes his rhymes to budging the reluctant young Marvin K.: »The time has come. The time is now. Just go. Go. GO! I don't care how.« But despite his impatience, our narrator certainly isn't short of ideas on how Marvin could make an exit. »You can go on stilts. You can go by fish. You can go in a Crunk-Car if you wish.« Seuss's ever wacky illustrations accompany each new mode of transport, from balloon to broomstick to Bumble-Boat. And if those who are just learning find a word they don't know, chances are Seuss has simply made it up to fill out this ear-pleasing, easy-to-read text. This book is yet another fun and euphonious entry from the good doctor, a silly primer for budding rhymers and readers. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

Not my favorite Dr. Seuss 
You can't go wrong with Dr. Seuss of course, but this one isn't one of my favorites. Silly text and illustrations as always, but the story is just okay.

I love it! 
I had this book as a child and I loved it so I wanted to get one for my own children! I love Dr. Suess!

This is a great GO TO BED book
I consider this book a classic, as I had this when I was very young. It was read to me as a GO TO BED book, because I was very difficult to put to bed. Plus Marvin looks as though he has foot pajamas on. :) I highly recommend this book for bedtime or naptime! Also good for the child learning to read longer books, but not ready for chapter books.It's a typical Suess book that describes (in Suess style) all the ways that Marvin can »go«.

A Fine Accelerated Reader –- A review of »Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Leave Now« 
»Marvin K. Mooney« is a cute book in the classic Seuss tradition. My son (5), my daughter (7) and I all enjoyed it. It's a good read-aloud although there are some awkward phrases here and there that you have to 'learn' how to read properly before they work. My children didn't seem to wonder why Marvin had to go anywhere, but they thought the Zumble-Zay and other suggested methods of 'going' were hilarious. The Accelerated Reading (AR) reading designation for this book is 1.1, which means that it's appropriate for children reading at the First Grade level. There are some challenging words, like Zumble-Zay, but after the first time through children seem to memorize them and they pose no long term difficulties. [The AR designation is a general »guide« that rates books on a relative scale of difficulty. Children can certainly read at levels above or below their group range, so that this number should only be used as a aid to help choose books that are appropriate and not frustrating.] Four Stars. [B-] Not Seuss' best, but very good. The Reading Level is listed as 1.1. Very enjoyable.
