Brief Summary of Book: The Poison Priestess (The Silk and Steel Saga, #4) by Karen Azinger 6/29/2023 0 Comments Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. SeussJohn Hersey, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, wrote a piece in a issue of Life magazine titled, “Why Do Students Bog Down on First R? A Local Committee Sheds Light on a National Problem: Reading.” which was extremely critical of school primers. Geisel’s first successful children’s book, Cat in the Hat, also was the result of a challenge to write a book in under a certain number of words. Green Eggs and Ham went on to be Geisel’s best selling work, so he made out on it anyways. Theodore Geisel, winning the bet by producing one of his most popular works Green Eggs and Ham using exactly 50 unique words, Cerf never paid up. The bet was made in 1960 with Bennett Cerf, the co-founder of Random House, and was for $50 (about $382 today). Seuss wrote “Green Eggs and Ham” on a bet that he couldn’t write a book with fifty or fewer distinct words. I don’t know if I liked Dahlia or London more?

Dahlia wallows for maybe a second, laughs it off, and then proceeds to make friends on the show. (I love reality cooking competitions so I was the exact right audience for this.) The meet-cute is the literal start of the book when Dahlia is upset that London doesn’t wish her luck before the competition begins and then Dahlia has a humiliating incident on camera immediately afterward.īut the humiliating incident and the meet-cute is handled so well on-page that I didn’t get second-hand embarrassment at all. I felt like the author rolled up multiple reality cooking shows together to create one that worked in this world. Just encouragement and laughter and love of the craft. And I loved everything about this book from beginning to end.ĭahlia and London are competitors on a cooking show and one of the things I loved so much is that there is no antagonism between them at all.
