Today is Dr. Suess's birthday.
In case you don't know who Theodore Suess Giesal was, he was a children's author most notable for his book "Green Eggs And Ham", "Cat in The Hat", and many others.
Originally, he thought he was bad at drawing real animals, so he drew those strange creatures you find in his books, such as Sam-I-Am in Green Eggs And Ham.
Title: Green Eggs and Ham
Author: Dr. Suess
Date Published: August 12, 1960
Plot
You know the story. It's the "don't knock it 'till you try it" thing.
What happens is a strange dog-mutant thing is trying to read when Sam-I-Am, a smaller dog-mutant thing, comes rolling by and asks the famous question, getting back the famous answer:
DO YOU LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM?
I DO NOT LIKE THEM, SAM-I-AM!
And of course, after many perilous and ridiculous situations, the large dog-mutant thing realizes he likes green eggs and ham. Typical toddler story.
Rating
You'd have to be a heartless ninny to rate this story anything less than a 4/5. It's funny, the characters are strange, and the story has a moral.
