Weak delete, the announcements from the sellers suggest that the book might be notable, but I was unable to find any independent sources beyond trivial mentions.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:53, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete. I think it's going to be difficult to come up with online sources to establish notability for this early entrant in the Beginner Books series. Perhaps worthy of note, for someone's future attention, is that the author, Marshall "Mike" McClintock, played a significant role in the career of Dr. Seuss: a Dartmouth friend, McClintock was a brand-new juvenile book editor at Vanguard Press when he was responsible for the publication of Seuss's first kids' book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street: Seuss dedicated the book to McClintock's wife and renamed the protagonist Marco after McClintock's son. Much later, McClintock wrote several books for Seuss's Beginner Books series. [1][2][3]. According to this publisher's bio for McClintock [4] he died in 1967, so it might take some off-line digging to come up with an obituary, but maybe with some effort a reasonable bio article could be written. (Apparently Mike McClintock existed as an unsourced article until it was deleted by prod in 2012. [5]) --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:58, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
