Sneaky inside trivia: this comes from my girlie Jennie Tueller…

This year marks the 50th anniversary/birthday of Green Eggs and Ham.
Dr. Seuss was challenged by a bet (offered $50) that he couldn’t write a
book with only 50 different words.  The result was Green Eggs and Ham.  Yes,
it only has 50 different words!  They are repeated, but there are only 50
different words used.
