Green Eggs and Ham

• Title: Green Eggs and Ham
• Author: Dr. Seuss
• Illustrator: Dr. Seuss
• Publisher: Beginner Books, a division of Random House Inc.

• Brief Summary: From Barnes & Noble-“Kids will love the terrific tongue-twisters as the list of places to enjoy green eggs and ham gets longer and longer…and they might even  learn a thing or two about trying new things!”
• Ideas for using this book in classroom or library – I did find another helpful article on The Prindle Institute for Ethics that explores discussion questions to ask young children, such as preferences, and reason vs. experience. I explored 3 Dr. Seuss books for the first time since I was a child and read them myself. However, I made sure they weren’t any of the ones discussed during our lecture as showing racist imagery.
• Whatever additional notes you’d like to add about this book and why you liked or didn’t like it.– While I enjoy the absurd present in Dr. Seuss’s books I really enjoy the simple rhyming that children can learn from these books.
