Product Description
Illus. in color. Sam-I-Am mounts a determined campaign to convince another Seuss character to eat a plate of green eggs and ham.

Amazon.com 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 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, Ifinally/I 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 IGreen Eggs and Ham/I 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. I(Ages 4 to 8)/I

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for reading out loud!   November 24, 2008
The tale of a picky eater this goofy book has a sing song-y sound, bright art and an a sense of over the top that kids love.br /


2 out of 5 stars Not sturdy enough.   November 6, 2008
I love the book Green Eggs and Ham. I bought the BOARD BOOK for my 2 year old to enjoy. With all of the flaps it was not sturdy enough and within 24 hours the book was ripped to shreads from opening and closing the flaps. He loved the book. I don't think he was exceptionally rough. Due to his lack of fine motor skills he worked the flaps and caused the rips. We have no other board books that were ripped to shreds from normal use. Board books are for toddlers not preschoolers that have a concept of books.


4 out of 5 stars Classic for a reason!   July 4, 2008
We all know this book, no need for me to re-iterate the plot.br /br /What makes it work, though, is that Dr. Seuss understood the importance of breaking the rules - something many of his imitators never grasp. He didn't stick to a rhyme scheme or a meter all the time, he varied it and dropped it when needed. That makes his books readable instead of mind-numbing - even when you're reading them for the 1000th time straight :)


5 out of 5 stars The Greatest American Philosopher   May 12, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

As a mom of a 24 and an 8 year old (I know . . . big surprise) I am firmly of the opinion that Dr. Seuss is the greatest American philosopher! In this book he urges us to try things that we may be afraid of or even repelled by. Many folks think this book applies only to food but I think he is urging us to be more brave in all avenues of life. We need to listen to those around us urging us expand our horizons. I believe that if we go for it and 'take a bite of the egg and ham' then we too will say "Thank you, thank you Sam-I-am."


5 out of 5 stars Fun for kids and adults!   May 12, 2008

I forgot how much I loved this book until I began reading it for my 3-year-old. She loves it, and I love reading it to her (unlike the ELMO books which our daughter loves and I dread). You really can't go wrong with Dr. Seuss. The illustrations are imaginative and the writing is really a work of genius in children's literature. I can't recommend this highly enough.
