<P> According to Judith and Neil Morgan , Geisel conceived the core of Mulberry Street in the summer of 1936 aboard the MS Kungsholm , a Swedish American luxury liner , during the return trip from a European vacation with his wife , Helen Palmer . As the Kungsholm endured a storm and Geisel suffered from sea sickness , he jotted down a rambling plot that started with `` a stupid horse and wagon '' . To keep himself occupied , he began reciting poetry to the rhythm of the ship 's engines and soon found himself saying , `` And that is a story that no one can beat , and to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street . '' For days after they landed , he had the rhythm of the ship 's engine stuck in his head , so , at Helen 's suggestion , he decided to write a story based around it . </P>
