This week I have been forced to slow down and take it easy. It's good to do that once in a while, but it is better if it is not put on you and you can decide to do that for yourself. I am trying to make the most of it but it is still somewhat frustrating.
What happened you ask? I totally bruised the side of my foot, possible toe breakage, while trying to get around my 18 month old. I totally smucked my foot hard against the door frame. So silly, but man it hurt. So now I am a hobbler. I am trying to rest it as much as possible to aid in healing.
The worst thing I had so much energy and I was going to really tackle some house projects and get the ball rolling on things. Oh well! Hopefully that energy comes back when my foot is back to normal. Until then, at least I am getting a whole lot of reading done. :)
Synopsis
Sam-I-Am, server of all things green eggs and ham, is trying to convince this tall hatted man to try some.
My Thoughts
I loved this book when I was little and I love it now. My kids have been asking for this one quite a lot. My oldest is very proficient at reading it and I am always catching my youngest grabbing it and rifling through it.
I love how persistent Sam-I-Am is. Nothing seems to get him down and cause him to give up. He doesn't get exasperated or angry, unlike me when I am trying to convince my own kids to try something new. I like all the different scenarios that are offered too.
It is amazing how a book with only 50 different words, (even though I only got 49, so If you want to count them and see what you get that would be awesome) can be such an entertaining story.
Hopefully the kids are not only entertained, but also get the message of it, try food you will like it. This book is truly a timeless classic,. Its theme is universal. I think that is why it has had such great staying power over the 50+ years it has been in print.
Here is my favourite rendition of Green Eggs and Ham by the Canadian indie band Moxy Fruvous. Enjoy!
