That's right! In 1950 in the book "If I Ran The Zoo," Dr. Seuss created that word this tells of an intelligent minded person who has a knack for an oh-so special certain something they love! And with this being true, did you know in the book however, it was used to describe a small animal from the land of Ka-Troo?! Yup! How surpising!
If I Ran The Zoo!
In this book it tells of a kid name Gerald McGrew who visits the zoo and feel the exotic animals there aren't "exotic enough."
