Since its appearance in 1960, Green Eggs and Ham has been a life-changing book, touching the hearts and minds of diverse readers big and small. But is it profound philosophy or elevated nonsense? We like to think it's a little bit of both: a reminder that serious stuff is out there, but we can't take life too seriously or we miss all the fun—and maybe all the friendships, too.
