Feasting with books

To celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday yesterday, the readers at Literary Lunches supplied books and some food, namely some green eggs with ham (prosciutto, actually).

Grand Forks Central family and consumer science teacher Rhonda Peterson and junior Sam Hape did a two voice performance of the Seuss classic Green Eggs and Ham with Hape easily fitting into the role of Sam-I-am.

They also read  The Foot Book, an homage to, of course, the foot, and The ABC Book, a litany of alliteration and/or tongue-twisters.

Who was Dr. Seuss?

Theodor Seuss Geisel (pronounced /ˈɡaɪzəl/; March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991) was an American writer and cartoonist most widely known for his children's books written under the pen names Dr. Seuss, Theo LeSieg and, in one case, Rosetta Stone.[1] He published 44 children's books, which were often characterized by imaginative characters, rhyme, and frequent use of trisyllabic meter. His most celebrated books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Horton Hatches the Egg, Horton Hears a Who!, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Numerous adaptations of his work have been created, including eleven television specials, three feature films, and a Broadway musical. (from Wikipedia)
