A Children's Classic

Quite possibly one of the most popular children's books of all time, this story revolves around Sam-I-Am unrelenting attempts to get the grown-up in the story to sample some green eggs and ham. Sam-I-Am presents the meal in several different ways (in a box, with a fox, on a train, in the rain) but his cantankerous friend still refuses to eat the peculiar dish. In the end, Sam-I-Am's determination pays off, prompting his pal to take a bite. The old sourpuss ends up liking green eggs and ham.

This was one of my favorite books when I was growing up and I still enjoy reading it to this day. It has timeless appeal, something that you don't see in a lot of children's literature nowadays. Dr. Seuss' trademark rhymes, his colorful illustrations, and his creative cast of characters all combine to make an unforgettable classic. It's a book for all ages to enjoy.

This book has a very simple yet important message: Don't be afraid to try new things. That can be incorporated into classrooms at just about every level. It can be used to teach kindergartners and first graders to eat their vegetables and it can also be used to teach older students not to be afraid to stand up to one of life's many challenges. Aside from that, this book could also be used to teach students about poetry and rhyming.

thanks dad

I could write a pretentious and erudite review, but it would be much more useful to say that when I was very little indeed, my father used to read me Green Eggs and Ham all the time... I can remember how much the pictures made us laugh, and how I asked him to read it to me over and over again. I also recall that everytime I refused to eat anything I hadn't tried, my dad would become Sam-I-Am and persuade me to have a taste. I hope this book gets read by parents to children for years to come - especially the ones who are picky with their food.
