Neil Gaiman read Green Eggs And Ham for charity and cured the grumps

Neil Gaiman, author of Sandman, American Gods, and some of the finest episodes of the new Doctor Who, has brought a magical enthusiasm and his English accent to the realm of children’s literature. Gaiman recorded himself reading Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs And Ham aloud, in funny voices, as a reward for the charity organization Worldbuilders hitting a $500,000 fundraising goal. The result’s a pure delight. Standing alone in his kitchen and sporting an endearingly scruffy beard, Gaiman’s enjoyment of the book’s playful rhymes is infectious. By the time he calls Green Eggs And Ham “rather wonderful” you might have already gotten over the fact that it’s Monday.
