Green Eggs and Ham

 I kind of loved/hated this book when I was a kid.  The story arc, is pretty good.  How the characters get there is pretty annoying.  The idea that you're going to teach a child to eat that food they hate by convincing them that they're being like the dog with the big hat is laughable.

(My daughter often asks me what that dog's name is and what he is.  I mean, I tell her it's a dog, but it isn't really, is it?)

My daughter loves this book because she's still young and repetitive rhyming books are endlessly entertaining to her.  The rhymes in Dr. Seuss are always pretty good, too.  And the meter matches up properly.  So I can handle it.




This is my favourite page.  I kind of wish I had a print of it to frame and hang on the wall.
