It may be an urban legend, but I think Green Eggs and Ham was based on a bet that Dr Suess couldn't write a book with less than 50 words long. Fair to say that he would have won that bet.

Not only does it restrict itself to a 50 word vocabulary, but 49 of them are monosyllabic. The one exception is "anywhere".
