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.
