This is completely non-law related so if you're busy, stop reading this!
My Firm has "adopted" an elementary school here in Syracuse and every
Wednesday and Thursday, about 20 of us spend 30 to 60 minutes reading
with individual 3rd and 4th graders who need some extra attention in
their lives. One inquisitive little girl was reading about Dr. Seuss
today and his challenge to write a book using 250 words. She wanted to
see the "list" of words and her reading partner, thinking that I can do
anything (flattering but not true!), called me to ask if I could locate
this list. I have found zillions of references to the story and the
fact that the man actually wrote The Cat in the Hat using fewer than the
250, but I can not find the actual list.
So...if any of you have any insights or actually can put your hands on
this piece of trivia, I would really appreciate it. We all thought it
was a great question...I just didn't think it would be so hard to
answer!
Thanks...and pardon the interruption!
