The Cat in the Hat (1957) used a limited lexicon of 236 words to encourage young children to read. In 1960, Seuss's publisher at Random House, Bennett Cerf, bet him $50 that he couldn't write a book using a lexicon of only 50 words, and Seuss responded with Green Eggs and Ham (which outsold The Cat in the Hat).
ghd iv styler The title is strange: the American expression is 'ham and eggs', not 'eggs and ham', and in fact in the first drafts it was 'green ham and eggs'. An early manuscript fragment shows Seuss tussling with his Prada Bags constrained medium: 'I do not like them/On a tree/Green ham and eggs/ On a green green tree.' Seuss felt that there were no useful rhymes for 'eggs' that could be included in a limited lexicon of 50 words, and the order was reversed, opening the way into the weird world clip in human hair extensions of the book. Seuss won the bet, but Cerf, according to some reports, never paid up. gaRy DeXteR
