Great Bend Public Library staff celebrated the 110th birthday of Dr. Seuss on Monday with a party for children. “Miss Amanda,” as children’s librarian Amanda Moran-Jones is known, read the Seuss book “Green Eggs and Ham,” and then The Cat in the Hat invited the children to sample the same dish — scrambled eggs with green food coloring.In the story, Sam-I-Am tries to convince the narrator to try the strange dish, but is repeatedly told, “I do not like green eggs and ham.”Miss Amanda asked her young audience what they thought.“You should always try it before you say don’t like, right?”she said.At the end of the story, the narrator gives in and tries the food, and proclaims: “I do so like green eggs and ham. Thank you.
