For anyone who has ever received "Oh the Places You'll Go!" as a graduation present: »
Some interesting facts about Dr. Suess:
-If I Ran the Zoo, published in 1950, is the first recorded instance of the word “nerd.”
-Bennett Cerf, Dr. Seuss’ editor, bet him that he couldn’t write a book using 50 words or less… Not one to back down from a challenge, Mr. Geisel started writing and came up with Green Eggs and Ham – which uses exactly 50 words.
-Yertle the Turtle = Hitler? Yep.
