So, the eggs aren’t really green. Instead they’re packed with good-for-you greens. Maybe they’re not the green eggs Dr. Seuss wrote about in the all-time classic Green Eggs & Ham. Still, they count in my book.
Before Nate was born, we started buying books for him. Dr. Seuss was one of the first authors we purchased. Dr. Seuss and I go way back.
When I was in elementary school, our librarian celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday each year with green eggs and ham. She made bright green eggs with a side of ham for every kid in the school. The eggs were cooked right in the library in a table-top skillet. It was the highlight of our week, possibly the month.
These days if the school librarian cooked up eggs in the middle of the library full of artificial green food dye, the moms would be up in arms (including me!). I’m not even sure it’s legal to feed kids home-cooked foods at school anymore. I know I couldn’t when I was teaching.
Whether or not the school librarian celebrates Dr. Seuss’ birthday with green eggs and hams, you can still celebrate with his books. I missed his birthday by a week but there is a great monthly book club offer that runs through Wednesday, March 13th I want to share with you: Dr. Seuss & His Friends.
