There is a simple formula to help select the right screen size. The distance from the television to the viewer should be 1 Â½ to 3 times the screen size. For example, if there is 12 feet (144 inches) between the back couch cushion to the wall, then the ideal screen size is between 144/1.5 to 144/3, or 96 to 48 inches. Within this range, bigger is better.

The Seuss classic, published in 1960, was a result of a wager between the author and his editor at Random House. Could Dr. Seuss, using 50 words, write an intelligent, entertaining children's book? In a word, yes (which is one of the 50 words). The U.S. writer and cartoonist, whose full name was Theodor Seuss Geisel, won the bet and $50, one dollar for each word. Since then it has become one of the bestselling children's books of all time.
