Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In "The Lorax," what does the Once-ler create from Truffula trees?

Answer: Thneeds

The Once-ler hacks down Truffula trees to make Thneeds, which, supposedly, "everyone needs." The Thneeds looks like misshapen suits of long underwear.

2. In "There's a Wocket in My Pocket," what are in the boy's cupboards?

Answer: NUPBOARDS

The NUPBOARDS seem like cheerful little creatures--they wave whenever the boy opens the cupboard doors.

3. In "Scrambled Eggs Super!" what tool is used to collect ice-cold eggs from birds perched on pointy icebergs?

Answer: a squitsch

In this book, Seuss dreams up a habitat for each invented bird. The hero, Peter T. Hooper, scrambles all their eggs together with 55 cans of beans, 9 prunes, and 1 clove.

4. Bartholomew Cubbins and King Derwin live in the Kingdom of _______?

Answer: Didd

Seuss won a Caldecott award for the illustrations in "Bartholomew and the Oobleck." The book's black and white drawings are festooned with splatters of pea-green glop.

5. What's the name of Dr. Seuss's "big-hearted moose"?

Answer: Thidwick

Hospitable Thidwick the moose kindly allows several creatures to make their homes in his antlers. Unfortunately, the selfish "guests" take advantage of Thidwick's generosity, yanking out his fur for nesting material, drilling holes in his antlers, and inviting friends and relatives to join them on the moose's poor, overburdened horns.

6. In "Happy Birthday to You!" what is the name of the bakery that cooks the giant birthday cake?

Answer: Snookers and Snookers

The cake is "made of guaranteed, certified strictly Grade-A peppermint cucumber sausage-paste butter."

7. What's the name of the super-powered cleanup force that cleanses the pink snow in "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back"?

Answer: VOOM!

Sally and her brother aren't exactly thrilled when the Cat in the Hat shows up for a second visit. The genial feline creates an appalling mess wherever he goes--and this time he's got 26 little clones in tow to help him wreak havoc.

8. From which mountain peak does the Grinch plan to dump the Whos' Christmas ribbons, wrappings, tags, tinsel, trimmings, and trappings?

Answer: Mt. Crumpit

"Three thousand feet up! Up the side of Mt. Crumpit, he rode with his load to the tiptop to dump it!"

9. In "I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew," the hurricane-like storm is called "the Midwinter _______"?

Answer: Jicker

"Did you ever sleep, when your feet were like ice, with a family of owls and a family of mice? I listened all night to the growls and the yowls and the chattering teeth of those mice and those owls, while the Midwinter Jicker howled horrible howls."

10. This one's a little harder: In "The Sneetches and Other Stories," what are the "North-Going" and "South-Going" creatures called?

Answer: Each is a Zax.

In Story 2, two haughty Zaxes, one North-Going, one South-Going, run smack into each other as each follows his unalterable route. Since neither is flexible enough to budge, they remain in a permanent standoff, noses in the air, as a complex freeway system is built up around them.
