Question ID: 298939
Could somebody please:

1.) Tell me how many children's books Dr. Seuss wrote

2.) Compile a list of the titles of the books he wrote, including only
one edition per title. (e.g. include "The Lorax", not "The Lorax
[Paperback] and "El Lorax" [En Espanol]). No particular order is
necessary, but it should include *EVERY* children's book Dr. Seuss
wrote.

Thanks a lot!

My friend pinkfreud pointed out that Dr. Seuss's "You're Only Old
Once" and "The Seven Lady Godivas" were written for an adult audience.

So an updated list would include all of the titals except for 45 and
54? Also, what is the meaning of the a, b, c that follow some of the
nimbers? (e.g. 47a, 47b, 47c). The all have differant titles, so
should I presume that they are differant works and would bring the
total number of childre's books written more tahn 52?

Thanks! Hope your weekend is going well. We got about half an inch of
snow today and forcasts for tomorrow are 3-5". Maybe no work
Monday...just maybe <Fingers Crossed>!!!
