Green Eggs and Ham” is a classic Dr. Seuss book that has become a staple in many households. The story follows Sam-I-Am as he tries to convince a reluctant character to try green eggs and ham in various settings. It features Seuss’s signature rhyming style, which makes it a fun read-aloud for children. After graduating from Dartmouth College (B.A., 1925), Geisel did postgraduate studies at Lincoln College, Oxford, and at the Sorbonne. He subsequently began working for Life, Vanity Fair, and other publications as an illustrator and humorist. In addition, he found success in advertising, providing illustrations for a number of campaigns. Geisel was especially noted for his work on ads for Flit insect repellent. Some of his characters later appeared in his children’s works. Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Reading Across America (RAA) and Dr. Seuss have always been connected through the National Education Association (NEA). Every year on March 2nd, many kids in their schools read Dr. Seuss books as a way of promoting reading all over America. Allegations that many Dr. Seuss books and illustrations are racist and have created an emotional debate around the author and RAA. The NEA had a contract with Seuss Enterprises until August 2018. After their contract, the NEA decided to go a different direction and try different things. As of today, Dr. Seuss Day has changed to Reading in Diversity across America. In March 2021 Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced that it would no longer publish or license the books And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, If I Ran the Zoo, McElligot’s Pool, On Beyond Zebra!, Scrambled Eggs Super!, and The Cat’s Quizzer.“These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” the company said.

Of the six, the problematic imagery in On Beyond Zebra! is probably the least obvious. The book catalogues a whimsical set of new letters in the alphabet, and briefly features the “Nazzim of Bazzim,” a figure of unspecified nationality riding a camel-like creature called a “Spazzim.” Cott, Jonathan (1984).

The young narrator, not content with the confines of the ordinary alphabet, reports on additional letters beyond Z, with a fantastic creature corresponding to each new letter. For example, the letter "FLOOB" is the first letter in Floob-Boober-Bab-Boober-Bubs, which have large buoyant heads and float serenely in the water.A Day of Ceremony", Dartmouth Medicine: The Magazine of the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Fall 2012

Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try. Ann Neely, professor of children’s literature at a University in Nashville, reported in a article published on USA Today Some of the animals from On Beyond Zebra! appear in the 1975 CBS TV Special The Hoober-Bloob Highway. In this segment, Hoober-Bloob babies don't have to be humans if they don't choose to be, so Mr. Hoober-Bloob shows them a variety of different animals; including ones from On Beyond Zebra! and If I Ran the Zoo (1950). Such animals include: a Jogg-oon, a Sneedle, a Zatz-it, a Wumbus, and a Yekko. The book was infrequently reprinted. Open Library lists American editions in 1955, 1983, and 1999.

La Jolla, CA was his home since 1948 when he bought a rundown observational tower on Mt. Soledad there. His house surrounded it while the tower served as his art studio. Sitting up high and working every day, he named himself a bird watcher on the social scene. From his view, he could people-watch and observe his neighbors below. This led to a series of paintings called The La Jolla Birdwomen. La Jolla is a wealthy neighborhood near San Diego, so many of the women he observed and drew whimsical versions of were visibly rich and fashionable. Around this time, Viking Press offered Geisel a contract to illustrate a children's collection called Boners. The book sold poorly, but it gave him a break into children's literature. On Beyond Zebra! [1] is a 1955 illustrated children's book by Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. In this take on the genre of alphabet book, Seuss presents, instead of the twenty-six letters of the conventional English alphabet, twenty additional letters that purportedly follow them.
