It's not obscure to a Seuss fan, but it would be to most people. Only a few of Seuss's books have reached the level of pop-culture icon (The Cat in the Hat, The Grinch, Green Eggs and Ham, maybe the Lorax). The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is a lot less likely to be on the radar.

Personally, I think of oobleck as the science-for-kids goop first. I'd forgotten its Seussian source.
