Green Eggs and Ham!

My daughter is a big fan of Dr. Seuss, she reads all of his books all of the time. I also love his work too. One night, my daughter was reading one of his stories to me and I happened to be looking at the Dr. Seuss books on the shelf and saw, Green Eggs and Ham. This gave me an idea! In the morning, which happened to be a Saturday morning, I went into her room and got the Green Eggs and Ham book and took it to the dinning room. I placed it at her table spot. I then went into the kitchen and and cut up a ham steak and fried it. I then cracked a couple of eggs in a bowl and added some green food coloring to it, whisked it up real good and then scrambled them. To me, the eggs looked aweful, but it did look like something kids would love. I placed the green eggs and ham at her table place and called her for breakfast. The look on her face when she saw that was priceless! She laughed so hard and sat down to eat her Dr. Suess treat! She had so much fun. She read the book and ate the “Green Eggs and Ham” with a huge smile on her face!

This was a fun breakfast morning I spent with her. She thought it was the best breakfast ever! She told her friends at school on Monday and her friends all went home telling their parents that they want green eggs and ham. Some of the parents have come up to me when I pick my daughter up at school and they tell me that they did the same thing for their kids and they all had a blast doing it! Try it with your kids, it is a lot of fun. But, make sure you add the reading part into it too. This is just another way to get your kids to read more and have fun with reading.
