I remember this book I ripped it in the school library on purpose the librarian was mad at me and then she taped the rips in the book and banned me for taking out books for a month

I had this book I ripped it up on purpose them my parents took the book away since I kept ripping it up, they were not happy with me, I was 4 or 5 when I did this

I remember this book I remember when my grade 1 class did have green eggs and ham once as well - trains45
