Constrained writing
"The vocabulary of the text consists of just 50 different words and was the result of a bet between Seuss and Bennett Cerf, Dr. Seuss's publisher" -- thus this book seems to be an example of constrained writing, a genuine piece of experimental literature, of which there was a lot being produced in the world around 1960. I'd suggest somehow working in a link to the Wikipedia article on that subject: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constrained_writing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.18.208.63 (talk) 03:20, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

ISBN?
The given ISBN (978-0-394-80016-5) is misleading, in the sense that the original publication date, as noted in the line above, is 1960, i.e., 10 years before ISBNs existed! What is Wikipedia's policy in such cases? WP:ISBNs doesn't seem to help. Ghastlyman (talk) 16:49, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
