Editorial Review:
This timeless Dr. Seuss classic was first published in 1960, and has been delighting readers ever since. Sam-I-Am is as persistent as a telemarketer, changing as many variables as possible in the hopes of convincing the nameless sceptic that green eggs and ham are a delicacy to be savoured. He tries every manner of presentation with this nouvelle cuisine--in a house, with a mouse, in a box, with a fox, with a goat, on a boat--to no avail. Then finally, finally the doubter caves in under the tremendous pressure exerted by the tireless Sam-I-Am. And guess what? Well, you probably know what happens, but even after reading Green Eggs and Ham for the thousandth time, the climactic realization that green eggs and ham are "so good, so good, you see" is still a rush. As usual, kids will love Dr. Seuss's wacky rhymes and whimsical illustrations--and this time, they might even be so moved as to finally take a taste of their broccoli. (Ages 4 to 8)

Buy for people you hate This is one of the most irritating books ever printed. Buy for anyone you really dislike and feel satisfied that every time they have to read it they will be driven insane by it's wittering drivel.
Seuss achieves so much with so little Much has been written about how Green Eggs and Ham is about leaving our comfort zone to try new things, and how it's like an allegory of telemarketeers changing their tactics in order to sell their products. However, I would like to mention the amazing thing about how Dr. Seuss only used 50 words for this book. Seuss has come up with a hilarious story with his rhymed silliness, but this story allows us to see how the negations get compounded as this cumulative story progresses, no matter how many settings... more info
Everyone should own his entire collection!! I am not going to single out one title in particular because each title is a gem. Every person young and old should own the Dr Seuss collection. My dad bought the collection for my eldest when he was 3. Back then he used to think the stories were funny and he loved the pictures.
Now seven years old, he can see that the stories are also clever. He is understanding and pointing out the life lessons...... they are making him think! They make me think!! I have another 3 year old now... more info
Green I've seen, green I've been I would not eat Green Eggs and Ham I would though read it, oh yes maam For in this tale of silly food There is no doubt fulfilling good
Who wouldn't find it appetising? Who could read it realising That things aren't always what they seem Life can sometimes be a dream
And in that dream a wonder starts That really strives to touch our hearts with such a simple verse and tale One could hardly think to fail
The premise here is most absurd Using the most simple word And no... more info
