Synopsis
Would you eat green eggs and ham? Probably not. But what if the person offering them to you persisted...and persisted...and persisted...? Theodor Geisel (a.k.a.

Now a classic, this creative, enjoyable book is populated by Dr. Seuss's whimsical, trademark illustrations.

CLASSIC

Created: 28/10/10
"Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Suess is sheer brilliance. I give 8 thumbs up to Dr. Suess for bringing us this magical poetry that will have you in tears by the end of the book. Join the Dr. in his creative imagination and jump into the world of adolescence. This is an unusual genre told through imagery and rhyming dialogue. You have not truly lived until you have read "Green Eggs and Ham."
In the story the main character Sam-I-am persistently tries to get an unnamed character to try green eggs and ham. In this adventure you will join teams with Sam-I-am and encourage the foolishness of green eggs and ham. The imagery Dr. Seuss creates for this masterpiece is what made it one the bestselling books to ever hit the market. The surprising ending will have you gasping for breath and make you want to read the story over and over again.

Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss

Created: 06/02/07
From a thirty year experience of teaching children in their early childhood years, I have found this to be a consistent favorite read-aloud. Its repetition delights young ears and builds listening skills. It also teaches in a most preposterous way that trying new foods may turn out to be the best experience ever!
I had purchased the stuffed animal character from the book and needed a copy of the book for my grandson's personal library. Can hardly wait until his birthday to present him with his very own copy....and then making those infamous green eggs and ham as a breakfast treat! What a joy and pleasure to share such age appropriate literature with young children!
