Product Description
Illustrated 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, 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. (Ages 4 to 8)

 I Wouldn't Eat Them Either! June 15, 2010
Shirley A. Renaud (Reinholds. PA)
What child finds it hard to identify with this character?! Sam tries to force this foreign-looking concoction over and over and is met with heels digging in deeper and deeper. The sing-song lyrics, the really neat places Sam suggests are finally no match for the character and low and behold HE LIKES GREEN EGGS AND HAM! This is a great early reader favorite with rhyming words that make it easy to decipher unknown vocabulary. Early readers enjoy the story line as well. I have read this book to so many children I have nearly memorized it. Like some preschool songs, many of the phrases in this book find a place in everyday events. "I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them Sam I Am." But, this book is a keeper!
Yes, We LOVE Green Eggs and Ham, Sam I Am! March 9, 2010

Our first grade teacher, Mrs. Evatt, introduced our class to this Dr. Seuss book during our Dr. Seuss week. As a class we voted to rate this book with 5 stars because it was one of our very favorites. Dylan loves this book because of the ending. He really liked it when the main character finally tried green eggs and ham and told Sam that he does like them. Abby loves this book because Sam I Am asks the main character over and over if he likes green eggs and ham in all of the different places. Ty loves this book because the main character is pretty funny when he does not like green eggs and ham. He says, "I do not like them, Sam I Am, I do not like green eggs and ham!" We all love this book for many reasons... the colorful illustrations, the rhyming words, the funny characters, and Dr. Seuss's amazing style. We would highly recommend this book to a friend.
GREEN EGGS & HAM March 5, 2010

I thought this was a very intelligent type of way for young children to learn rhyming words. I like the theme of the book and the way it was put together. It was about how this boss type of character swore up and down how he didn't like green eggs and ham, and how he wouldn't eat them in certain locations or with certain animals. It's a very entertaining type of book for children, and that's coming from experience. I loved dr.suess's creative kiddy books when I was younger and now watching my little sister develop into a toddler, she seems to love the books too.! I recommend these books to all youth across the world! CASHMERE' FUDGE
Funnier now as a parent February 17, 2010

This book was comical when I was a child and now that I am a parent, its hilarious. My daughter gets a kick out of Sam-I-am and I'm amused about the fact that she and Sam are nearly one in the same.
 A imperfect classic February 17, 2010

No one can argue against Green Eggs and Ham's importance in children's literature, nor question Dr. Seuss' skill at successfully writing a book with only fifty unique words (and all but one are monosyllabic!).
But you would also be right if you see Sam-I-am's dogged persistence as an example of peer pressure, even if the end justifies the means. Are we teaching children that "No Means No" only the first dozen times?
So if you want a fun rhyming book to deal with a picky eater, try Alfi Beasti Don't Eat That (Picture Puffin) instead.
