Well, Dr Seuss had been writing for several years when his publisher approached him. He expressed that the children's book industry was lacking in books for very young readers and had drawn up a list of easy to read words. He asked Seuss to write a story using only the words on that list. After a ton of work Seuss had written The Cat in the Hat. It is rumored that the same publisher bet Seuss that he couldn't write a book using fifty words or less. There is no proof to this, but Green eggs and ham has exactly 48 words. There is also no proof that the publisher never paid the fifty dollars.

Dr. Seuss started writing books because when he was a young man he worked for an oil company. Dr. Seuss would write ads for them, often times with cartoon pictures of people. This is what started his love for writing books.

Dr. Seuss was upset by the quality of Children's Books in the 1950s and 1960s. He felt that "Johnny" couldn't read because books were boring. He wrote The Cat In The Hat with only about 200 different words on a beginning reader list of words.

Dr. Seuss wrote 'funny books' because children are people, too. He wrote to amuse, not moralize.
