Dr. Seuss serves up a recipe for a super story with this tall tale about an everyday dish, Scrambled Eggs Super! As the young boy/chef Peter T. Hooper explains to a girl named Liz, it was just last week that he made the best scrambled eggs supper ever. “If you want to get eggs you can’t buy at a store, you have to do things never thought of before.” He describes his amazing egg hunt—gathering the freshest eggs from the nests of unknown birds in never-heard-of places. This book has all the right ingredients—detailed pen-and-ink drawings, nonsense words, fantastic birds, and clever rhyme schemes—to satisfy the tastes of any fan of Dr. Seuss. So dig in and enjoy Scrambled Eggs Super!

Tie-in Activity: Consider having your child assist you in making your own super recipe with scrambled eggs. Set out a variety of adult-approved ingredients to add (probably not sardines or 55 cans of beans), and then let your child choose which ones to put in. Your child can help with the egg cracking, scrambling, pouring, and so on as appropriate. (Of course, adults are in charge of the stove.)
