Answer: Mulberry
"And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street" was Dr. Seuss' first book. It was written in 1937. It tells the story of Marco, a boy whose father tells him, "stop telling such outlandish tales. Stop turning minnows into whales." Marco sees a horse and a wagon on his way to and from school on Mulberry Street, so he thinks of what to tell his father he saw on Mulberry Street because a horse and a wagon are dull. As he walks, his story gets bigger and bigger with things such as a zebra and then a blue elephant. When he gets home, however, he tells his dad that all he saw was a horse and wagon.

Answer: In a cave north of Who-ville
Although most colour versions of the Grinch show him as being green, the original drawings are in black and white (with some red), and no colour is mentioned in describing him. However, the fact that he is a grouch is clearly indicated in the first drawings of him, in which he has angry red eyes as he contemplates the upcoming celebration of Christmas by the Whos. We see him sulking near the opening of his cave on the second page.

Answer: The Sneetches (and Other Stories)
Dr. Seuss told the story of the Star-Bellied Sneetches, who looked down their yellow noses at other Sneetches who had no star. It was a book about how we may not see the real person (or Sneetch), and may just look at the outside. The silly Sneetches even had a star-making machine for bellies!

Answer: Marco's mom
This is Dr. Seuss's first children's book. It was published in 1937.
Each day after school, Marco's dad asks him to report on what he has seen on the way home. Hoping to invent "a story that no one can beat," the boy begins with a "broken-down horse and wagon" clip-clopping down Mulberry Street, changes the horse into a zebra, morphs the driver into a Roman charioteer, substitutes for the zebra a reindeer, than an elephant, then an elephant plus two giraffes. Marco's imaginings proliferate faster and faster until he pictures an extravaganza of creatures, riders, musicians, marchers, and spectators (all showered in bushel baskets of confetti poured from a plane) the likes of which Mulberry Street has never seen--and is never likely to see. Unfortunately, Marco cannot quite bring himself to repeat such an over-the-top fib to his stern father. Instead he admits to seeing "nothing...but a plain horse and wagon on Mulberry Street."

Answer: push Bartholomew from a turret atop the castle
This book was published in 1938.
Amid blaring trumpets, proud King Derwin and his royal entourage come galloping into town. All the townspeople bow low and doff their hats--all, that is, except poor little Bartholomew Cubbins. Of course, the boy respectfully removes his hat along with everyone else. But another hat appears upon his head--and another, and another, and another. Furious, King Derwin orders a mounted guard to scoop up Bartholomew and gallop the boy uphill to the palace (as hat after hat after hat flies from the prisoner's head). Various royal experts try in vain to get rid of the boy's bewitched headgear. When Bartholomew finally receives a death sentence, the friendly executioner explains that it's unlawful to behead people with their hats on. The King's nasty young nephew offers to push Bartholomew from the highest turret, and on the way upstairs, the hats--which Bartholomew keeps removing--grow fancier and fancier. King Derwin is so entranced by Hat Number 500, a plumed, bejeweled dazzler, that he pardons Bartholomew, spanks his nephew, and buys the hat for 500 gold pieces. Once the King lifts his purchase from Bartholomew's head, the boy is relieved to feel breezes ruffling his hair.
