I was afraid this book would be a cheap sort of merchandising. But, the recipes are fun adaptations you would eat! Their presentation is probably better than mine, but you'll have that...

Each recipe page has an excerpt from the book that inspired the recipe, and there are plenty of tie-ins, especially if you were having a Dr. Seuss Party, this would be a great book!

Do you like Green Eggs and Ham?!?

Yes - I like them Sam-I-am!!! I would like them here or there - I would like them anywhere!!!

Yes - I like the Glunker Stew - and I like the Blueberry Bumplings too!!!

Yes - I like the Pink Yink Ink Drink - I even like the Biggel-Balls - I think!?!

I like Brown and Black's Snack - and the Who-Roast-Beast - and the Ape Cakes Grape Cakes to say the least!!!

I like it all - oh where to stop - well, maybe the Schlopp with a Cherry on Top!!!

It's all so good - oh, Sam-I-am - but the best is still the Green Eggs and Ham!!!

Cookbook author Georgeanne Brennan teams up with Frankie Frankeny to provide a Seuss cookbook of fun and wild food references. Here are some forty recipes for breakfast, lunch, snakes and desserts which offers Corn-Off-the-Cobsk, Nice Lime Ice, and more. Some are easy, some more complicated: all will capture the interest and imagination of kids in grades 2-6.

Since starting school, my 5 year old son, who has only celebrated Channuka, asked, "Who is this Santa Claus guy and why doesn't he come to my house?". We needed to start a family tradition that would make Christmas day a special one for him too. After watching the original cartoon version of "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas", we sat down to a delicious Who Feast. What fun! This will be just the first of hopefully many years of a delicious and meaningful tradition.

We have big plans to read each of our Dr. Suess books and create their respective treats.

I was surprised by this cookbook. My son brought it home from school and we used it to combine reading and cooking. He had fun reading the recipe titles and helping me cook the recipes. But, what really sold me on this cookbook, was that the recipes were healthy - many times cookbooks for cooking with kids are high in sugar and fat so that the kids will "like" the end product. However, this cookbook has great tasting recipes that are also healthy.

This book was fantasticly fun! The recipes are inventive and imaginary following right along with the Dr. Suess theme. Each recipe comes with a quote directly from a character or scene in a variety of the Dr. Suess books. It's great for the aspiring cook in your household with recipes that are simple, attainable, and a little quirky.

When you get this, just remember it is Seussical, not Emeril. My children think this is an exciting book. Although we will not be likely to even try the green eggs or ham, the roast beast looks good. There are lots of pictures and an excerpt from each book as the food is referenced.

I work with children all the time. The book itself they didn't find as fun as I did, but they have enjoyed a few of the recipes. I enjoyed the whole thing. The recipes aren't always great, but with a little bit of tweaking they were great.

I got this for christmas in 2008 and I loved it....I had wanted it for a ilong time and I finally got it.Sadly I had too move and I lost it :(. I'm getting another copy though.I loved the book they made everything look so good.I was told the green eggs and ham was just eggs with green food coloring.I don't think it looks to good but I like alot of the other recipies in it.



P.S. i'm 10 (soon 11) this is my mom's acount.

This was a gift for a 8 year old boy. His mom suggested it and I sent it from afar. I was told that he poured over it after opening it and wasn't interested in looking at any of his other presents. Hooray! Another hit from Great Aunt Sue!
