    Not precisely what you wanted but might be fun for the kids. I share an
    alma mater with Theodore Seuss Geisel. In 2000, to celebrate the 75th
    Anniversary of Geisel's graduation (and, no, we weren't classmates), the
    college produced the following,:
     
      

    Who's Who & What's What in the Books of Dr. Seuss

    Compiled by Edward Connery Lathem

    Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904-1991), internationally known by his pseudonym
    "Dr. Seuss," was a member of the Dartmouth Class of 1925. To commemorate
    the seventy-fifth anniversary of his graduation from the College,
    Dartmouth has published this finding-aid reflective of the contents of
    all of the Dr. Seuss volumes, from the first book, And to Think That I
    Saw It on Mulberry Street (1937), through three posthumously issued
    works, ending with Hooray for Diffendoofer Day! (1998).

    A limited-edition printing of Who's Who & What's What in the Books of
    Dr. Seuss was made possible by the William L. Bryant Foundation,
    established by William J. Bryant, Dartmouth Class of 1925. However, the
    full form of Who's Who & What's What in the Books of Dr. Seuss
    <http://www.dartmouth.edu/~drseuss/whoswho.pdf> is available as a free
    download from this web site as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file.

    Subject: Dr. Seuss' 250 (or less) words

    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!
