Description
| Product Description |
|
| 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 skeptic that green eggs and ham are a delicacy to be savored. He tries every manner of presentation with this "nouveau 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 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 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.

Growing up this was my favorite book not only because my name is sam and I have always been called Sam-I-Am, but because of the enjoyment I have always gotten from this book. Sam-I-Am only wanted his freind to try some green eggs and ham, but because of the way they looked he wouldn't eat them anywhere or with anything. Once he finally tried them he realized that Sam was right, they were great and he would now eat them anywhere and with anything or anyone. Dr. Seuss is a great author and I have enjoyed all of his books, but Green eggs and ham is by far my favorite one to read. I have read it to my nephew several times and he enjoys it also.
Dr. Seuss like many authors had some ups and downs with his books, but in the end has many books out there that both young and old get to enjoy and I appreciate all the work he has done.

the green eggs and ham look yummy but judging by it's colour, that furball refuses to eat the dish "sam I am" keeps bombarding him with and they go so far until he actually tries it and it's good. I think the book is silly but it does teach not to judge food by how strange it may look cause of it's colour or form, cause you're missing out on the delicious taste, and this is a subject that young kids could relate to if they are being fussy with food. Also recommended if you're reading this to your young child is to cook eggs with them and put in green food colouring or any other colour to show that it tastes the same even if it appears different from usual

This was my mother's favorite book to read to us. And quote to us in order to get us to try her new dinner recipes. I am over 50 now and I hope to use this to get the children that visit to try some different foods.

So we know who Sam is, but what is the other fellow's name? My 1 1/2 year old wants to know.
Other than that, this is a must have and a classic of course. My son loves it.

Not only does this book make a good case for trying new foods (a big plus right off the bat), it does so in the inimitable rhyme of Dr. Seuss. What more can be said? This is a classic among classics, truly the good Dr. at his best.
So, I will read it in a boat
And I will read it with a goat
And on a plane and on a train
And in the dark and in the rain
I will read it here and there
Yes, I will read it everywhere!
