Dr. Seuss books are always a favorite and not only with children. The silly rhymes and green colored food bring out our imagination no matter our age. Reading through the story, the children will hear lots of reasons to not like Green Eggs and Ham, but the best part is when the students actually decide to try Green Eggs and Hams to see if they really don't like them. A great activity to do after reading this book would be for the students to actually try eating green eggs and ham. I remember my elementary school having green eggs and ham one day for lunch. This would also be a fun book to bring out when first learning about rhymes. Having the students find the rhymes and then creating their own set of rhymes in their writing notebook.
