Question 1

"Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss I finished it yesterday. I read it to my son. It's a very short children's book.

Question 2

It's a wonderful children's book. It's very nostalgic for me, as my mother always read Dr. Seuss books to me.

Question 3

It's about a character who is trying to get another character to try Green Eggs and Ham. Dr. Seuss books are written in rhymes format so they have a nice flow. The one character refuses to try Green Eggs and Ham.

Question 4

I will always choose to read Dr. Seuss books to my children.

Question 5

I enjoy reading very much, but lately I haven't had any time for recreational reading. I like Hiroki Murakami. i enjoy his style of writing. I usually read non-fiction.　I really enjoy books about history, travel, and biographies. In Japan it's difficult for me to find books in English at the library. So, I bought an Amazon Kindle and read ebooks.

Question 6

I have borrowed some Japanese children's books from the Reading Tree to read to my children. They are all Hiragana so it's ok for me to read.
