May 16- Random

Remember Theodore Seuss Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss? Born in Massachusetts, Geisel went on to write many popular children's books. One such book has a particularly interesting story behind it. After the publication of The Cat in the Hat, Geisel's publisher made a bet with him, the bet being $50 that Geisel could not write a book only using 50 words. (The Cat in the Hat used 225 words) In the end, Geisel was able to accomplish his task, and the result was the fourth Best Selling Children's Book of all time. So, for my daily question, I ask: Which Dr. Seuss book was a result of a bet and only has 50 words?






The book was Green Eggs and Ham.
