Green eggs and ham cookbook- A neat “informational book.” I found this book to be one of the most interesting, with fun and silly recipes available for the whole family! What a creative way to bring the timeless classic to life, in your own home. I found this book to be a great idea to incorporate reading with real life situations. If children find a connection amongst reading and other tasks in life, they may be more intrigued to read it. When children feel as if they are in charge of something, they feel a sense of autonomy, and more likely to have intrinsic motivation. I liked how the recipes are for the most part fairly healthy. I would like to include this in a health lesson, to discuss how various foods are healthy for our bodies, and why we should strive to stay healthy!

Neat-o!

I found the concept adorable and my son Jack spends hours poring over this book, planning recipes he would like to make. Unfortunately, the recipes are either things I will never actually get around to making--the title recipe is a ham coated in cilantro and a fried egg with guacamole over the yolk, which I just can't see myself doing--or, in the case of the ones we have made, very average.
