Do you like Poetry?

Do you like poetry here or there? Do you like poetry anywhere? In Dr. Suess' Green Eggs and Ham, he incorporates poetry by having Sam I Am ask Mr. Negative if he likes green eggs and ham! The theme of this story is you never know if you like something unless you try it. Rhyme and meter are used in this book for example, "Would you eat them in a box? Would you eat them with a fox?" With the ending word of each line rhyming. Would you eat green eggs and ham?

 




Dr. Suess is famous for his poetry and his stories are known for introducing children to tropes of poetry such as rhyming. My favorite book growing up was "The Cat in The Hat," as we had a woman come into our class dressed up as The Cat in the Hat and read to us.
