green eggs and ham

Happy Dr. Seuss Day!   It was March 2, 1904 that Theodore Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts.  Today we pay tribute to his 105th birthday.  What a classy guy.  Did you know that the book Green Eggs and Ham was written on a bet that he could not write an entire book only using 50 words?  And now that book is the fourth best-selling English-language children's book of all time.  Pretty hip.  
Do you like green eggs and ham?  Do you like them, Sam-I-am?

Some of the best books of all time. We need a bigger collection (don't tell mom I'm authorizing the purchase of more books).
