This is true. There are 50 different words in the book, 49 of which are monosyllabic. (Can you recall the one polysyllabic word?) Geisel revolutionized the children's book, for which we are all thankful.
A few months later, Tiffany has my name for Christmas. Allie and Megan insist that she get me Green Eggs and Ham because it's one of my favorite books. So I got the book and it travelled with me lo these many years, from Utah to New Jersey to Portland to California. It's even survived several book purges. Although truth be told, I don't think I ever read it....
Until today.
It's a great thing when your children, nieces, and nephews take those first steps outside of themselves and try to fulfill the needs of other people. Some other time, I'll tell the story of how 7-year old Megan became concerned about my dating life, and tried to marry me off.
