Dr Seuss has written countless numbers of fun books for children and this one is Green Eggs and Ham.
The cover of the book is Green with a red and white stripped banner down the left hand side and a picture of a yellow and white cat holding a plate of green eggs and ham and the title in white letting on the right hand side. The back cover is also green and has a paragraph about the book written at the top.
The story starts with a funny creature called Sam holding a banner telling us he is Sam-I-am. We meet another cat like creature who tells us he does not like that Sam-I-am. Sam asks this creature if he likes green eggs and ham, he says he does not like them. Sam goes on pestering him about liking green eggs and ham and taking him to funny places asking him if he would like them there.
Would he give in and try the green eggs and ham to hake Sam-I-am happy or would Sam-I-am keep trying?
Through out this book there is a very clever rhyming pattern which starts and the beginning of the book and the whole story is told using it. The words are nice and basic which are ideal for the beginner reader and the rhyming will also help with them recognising the words.
The book has nice bright pictures on all the pages which helps to tell the story and I have also found that they help to keep my 4 year old interested in the book as he is able to use them to see what is happening. He does also try and tell me the story by using the pictures and he is quite close to the actual story doing this.
This is only a short story and can be read in about 5 minutes so this is an ideal bedtime story or just one for if you are short on time.
The book has a green back cover which Dr Seuss wrote for children who are just beginning to read on their own. He also wrote blue back books which are for adults to read to children and yellow back books for confident and fluent readers to read on their own.
Other titles with the green back include:-
And to Think I saw it on Mulberry Street The Cat in the Hat Fox in Socks I Can Read with my Eyes Shut I Wish That I Had Duck Feet.
This book was published by Harper Collins Publishers Limited and has a retail price on the back of the book of £4.99. They are available to buy for less on both Amazon and EBay with prices starting at just 1p on the market place.
I highly recommend this book to all fans of Dr Seuss or for parent trying to encourage independent reading to their children.
