Good old Dr. Seuss. This book is a great tool in teaching kids to try something new. I'll bet that this book has been read at least 20 times in the past year, and it always holds their attention. They can't wait to get to the part where he actually TRIES the green eggs and ham. It seems like they even hold their breaths at that point. :)
We have eaten green eggs and ham in the past in reference to the story. Last year I made ONLY green eggs, and several of the kids refused to eat it.
This time I wised up and made most of it the regular way. Saint Patrick's Day was the perfect excuse to make some green ones.
It's a bit blurry, but everyone had a spoonful of the green eggs. They were excited to try it, just like the guy in the book. It amazes me how a bit of food coloring can really confuse the senses. Some of the kids believed that it tasted different. :)
