March 2nd was the birthday of noted author Dr. Seuss. Seuss was famous for many works, including the Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. Google altered its main page logo to celebrate the birthday of Seuss.
Speaking from personal experience, green eggs are really nasty. I once worked in a middle school, and as part of the Seuss 'celebration' they served up an eggish substance loaded down with green food coloring. Nice gesture, but something was lost in the translation.
The North Metro Tech Library has several books by, or about, Dr. Seuss. Remember, to search in the catalog, go to the college's website http://www.northmetrotech.edu, then click on 'Library.' You will notice two ways to search the catalog. You can type a search term into the search bar and hit search, or you can click on the link for the online catalog.
Remember, avoid real green eggs at all costs. Your taste buds will thank you.

Green Eggs and Ham. Bennett Cerf, Dr. Seuss’ editor, bet him that he couldn’t write a book using 50 words or less. The Cat in the Hat was pretty simple, after all, and it used 225 words. Not one to back down from a challenge, Mr. Geisel started writing and came up with Green Eggs and Ham – which uses exactly 50 words. The 50 words, by the way, are: 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.
