Nonsense? Your dissing one of the most revered, influential, and popular books in the English language.
It has been a model for different media productions (music, TV, movies); been referred to by a US judge, been an all-time best seller; has been a teaching aid for various philosophies including objectivism; a model of literary brevity (only 50 different words used in the text); a supporter of social justice such as anti-discrimination; interpreted as an example of various religious teaching including Vedic, Judaic, and Christian views; and a literary work to influence various political principles--even Marxism (the Chinese banned it once as an example of early rather than evolved and progressive Marxism).
If you like Bernie Sanders, there should be a lot in Green Eggs and Ham that you would support.
Well . . . yeah . . . there is really not much in it. But a lot of "smart" folks, and even regular folks, who swear good stuff by it.
