Constrained writing[edit]

"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)Reply[reply]

ISBN?[edit]

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)Reply[reply]

Unnamed[edit]

I know the man that Sam-I-Am pesters is later named "Guy-Am-I" in the Netflix series, but why he still is unnamed in the book other than vague descriptions like "Grouchy Guy" or "Sam's Friend"? Allan Bao (talk) 18:03, 21 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Because he is unnamed in the book. Decisions made by the people behind the Netflix series have no bearing on the original book. Ckruschke (talk) 14:52, 22 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That's why you left the note to clarify that it is pertinent to the original book where the 2nd character is originally unnamed, besides naming him Grouchy Guy or Sam's Friend.Allan Bao (talk) 13:33, 23 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
