Green Eggs and Ham by: Dr. Seuss

























Green Eggs and Ham is about someone who doe not like green eggs and ham. However, Sam I Am keeps pestering his friend to try them. However, because of the way they look, his friend will not eat green eggs and ham anywhere or with anything. Find out if Sam I Am convinces his friend to try green eggs and ham.

Green Eggs and Ham is a popular favorite of many children and adults. The words rhyme and the language flows in it’s own rhythm. I like the fact that there are repetitive passages. This helps beginning readers figure out words that are new to them. The book is filled with simple, fun phrases that children will enjoy. The illustrations are crazy and cartoon like. They go along well with the action that is taking place in the story. The colorful illustrations and creative cast of characters combine to make an unforgettable story. Many children can relate to the character who has never tried green eggs and ham. Several children are picky eaters, and are convinced that they do not like something even though they have never tried it before. This book portrays a message about trying new things and keeping an open mind. Trying new things can be a good thing. In addition, some things are not always what they seem to be. Green Eggs and Ham is a humorous book that both children and adults will enjoy reading over and over!
