Green Eggs and Ham.
No, I’m not kidding.
Teaches us to try to accept unconventional ideas. Teaches us resilience and patience, innocence.
Reminiscent of our childhoods.
It calms me.

I note you said favorite book. Not best book you’ve ever read. Favorite to me means you like to read it over and over because of a particular feeling or feelings you get when you read it. Since I haven’t read every book out there, I’ll name a book I have read many times because the stories continue to amuse and entertain me each time. Mama Makes Up Her Mind: And Other Dangers of Southern Living by Bailey White.
