This cookbook will be great not only for adults to enjoy, but especially the kids (with adult supervision, of course!) This cookbook has page after page after page of recipes inspired by characters in Dr. Suess' beloved books. There is even a recipe for Green Eggs and Ham! You can find recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts, and beverages! There is no way you can go hungry from lack of meals and imagination with this book!

The front of the book looks just like the original Dr. Suess, "Green Eggs and Ham" book. The difference is that the green eggs and ham picture isn't a cartoon, it is REAL green eggs and ham! When you open up the book, the spiral binding is revealed. You can't tell when the book is closed because there is a solid spine covering it up. After opening up past the title page, you see the table of contents. Here the recipes are separated by category and color--Breakfast (orange), Beverages (green), Lunch (pink), Snacks (blue), Dinner (lime), and Desserts (turquoise). A short introduction follows describing how the author came up with these wonderful meals found in the Dr. Suess books to come to life. Not only did she want the recipes to be fun and delicious, but healthy as well! When you open the book to the recipes, many pictures are taken from Dr. Suess books and added into the recipe. The book is very colorful!

What a great way to incorporate all of the fun and quirky foods Dr. Suess makes up in his stories into real life foods that you and your children can enjoy! Not only are they delicious, but the author makes a conscious effort to make sure these foods are healthy as well! I've got to try the Cindy-Lou Who-Wreaths! Perfect for the upcoming holidays!

This is a great book to teach math with the different ingredients and of course culinary arts! Also, you can get kids to try to make up some of their own recipes.

Considering Dr. Seuss is my favorite ever, I may be a little biased to this cook book. I even bought it for my kitchen :) I thought it was so fun and creative of Georgeanne Brennan to create funky recipes that go along with Green eggs and ham. Many children probably wonder what green eggs and ham taste like, but Brennan takes it to a whole new level with Flapjack Flapper's Flapjacks and Who Roast Beef. You may not get to use this book in the classroom, but it is definitely a fun book to use at home with your kids. These recipes are so wacky and fun that it will make cooking fun for the whole family. The illustrations are awesome and the pages are laminated to protect the recipes while cooking! Most of the recipes are healthy in the cookbook, so that is also a plus. I just love love love this cookbook and I'm so glad I saw it in the textbook! :)
