Did you know that Dr. Seuss wrote this book 'Green Eggs and Ham' after being challenged to produce a book using no more than fifty different words?! :)
As the project noted, the wager was “a small price for what ultimately became a national treasure.”
For the curious, here is a list of the 50 words that appear in Green Eggs and Ham: a, am, and, anywhere, are, be, boat, box, car, could, dark, do, eat, eggs, fox, goat, good, green, ham, here, house, I, if, in, let, like, may, me, mouse, not, on, or, rain, Sam, say, see, so, thank, that, the, them, there, they, train, tree, try, will, with, would, you.

Still, bet or not we love the book and so do our children :)

Enjoy,
from the heart
