and Ham.While Sam's story is best-suited for toddlers and pre-schoolers, older siblings can still enjoy playing the included games for a time or two as well. Required mouse skills are basic, so even younger users should be able to play on their own. Clear, bright images are nearly identical to the original book illustrations, with the simple animation providing new excitement as the story builds to its "surprising" climax.With Dr Seuss's excellent combination of phonics and word repetition, your children will receive a great introduction to crucial early-reading skills. --Jill Lightner
recitation of Green Eggs and Ham (and who makes Cat in the Hat/If I Ran the Zoo and Fox in Socks/Horton Hatches the Egg come alive on separate CDs). Taking a colleague up on a bet, Dr Seuss (Theodor Geisel) wrote and published this tale--arguably his best known--in 1960 with the constraint of using a mere 50 words. And what an amazing 50 words they are! Strung together with charm, energy, and pleasantly tripping repetition, Green Eggs and Ham stands up as one of Seuss's masterworks. Also included on the CD are rhyming parables of greed, honesty, and making amends in the dramatisations of Yertle the Turtle, The Big Brag, and, finally, Bartholomew and the Oobleck, starring the young hero who many will recognise from the better known Bartholomew Cubbins and the 500 Hats. This disc, along with its companion reissues, is a wang dang doodle of linguistic and auditory fun! --Paige La Grone
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 sceptic that green eggs and ham are a delicacy to be savoured. He tries every manner of presentation with this nouvelle 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 in 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 for 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)

Advantages: comicly funny scenarios, positive message, intro to poetic cadences, simple early vocab, phonics Disadvantages: unwary adults unaware of the poetic meter may stumble horrifically when reading
...succeeded with the beloved classic Green Eggs and Ham. And so it was that the the I can Read imprint of Beginner Books began. The books by Seuss and other authors under the imprint made reading fun, and the use of keywords and phonics have made these popular choices for parents and teachers around the world. It should be noted that these books of Seuss’ are written in poetic meter, and they are properly read in a rhythm. Currently the books are released ... ...~~~The Book~~~
Green Eggs and Ham is a very simple story. Sam whizzes by a furry fellow on a chair and invites him to sample some green eggs and ham. The fellow refuses, and Sam is most insistent, going through all sorts of bizarre scenarios to see what it would take to get him to try the dish. Finally, out of exasperation, the furry fellow tries them and is surprised to find he DOES like the dish after all. The overall message is one of trying ...

Advantages: Green eggs and ham, and a guy named Sam Disadvantages: Well, the eggs are green, but must be seen
I would not eat Green Eggs and Ham
I would though read it, oh yes maam
For in this tale of silly food
There is no doubt fulfilling good
Who wouldn't find it appetising?
Who could read it realising
That things aren't always what they seem
Life can sometimes be a dream
And in that dream a wonder starts
That really strives to touch our hearts
with such a simple verse and tale
One could hardly think to fail
The premise here is most absurd
... ...an Irish egg?
I've had green beer, was it a keg?
But this should be a family verse
and green beer does become too terse
So now, dear friend, go buy the book
Open it up and take a look
You'll never be sorry, you'll never frown
This short tale won't let you down
And may you be just who you are
We're all Sam, both near and far
But we're ourselves, and this is true
This book was meant for me and you.
-------
Continuing the celebration of ...

Advantages: A great story with a good message, easy to read and understand Disadvantages: I could imagine gets noisy with a group of kids
...in his film. But Green Eggs and Ham is not one that I had heard of until my daughter mentioned it. So I eventually agreed to get the book for her if it meant that I would get some peace and quiet from the constant "mummy please can I have the book?" We meet Sam (I am Sam, Sam I am) at the beginning, a cheerful looking creature who is riding on the back of another strange creature and looking exceptionally pleased with himself for some reason or another. ... ......
"Do you like green eggs and ham?"
And so begins our story, which is told entirely in rhyme, and is great fun for children of all ages, as my two year old will confirm, as she loves it too!
The story covers 62 pages, but as it is told in rhyme, this is understandable. The text is plain and easy to read. And it is also easy for an early reader to comprehend and read along. As I mentioned earlier, my 5 year old is learning to read, and while ...

Green Eggs and Ham, Green Eggs and Ham, I'm one who likes this, Yes I am. Have YOU read Green eggs and Ham? You have not read Green eggs and Ham? Then I will tell you what I can.

...prejudice for you.
****************************************
Green Eggs and Ham is a very witty and very funny story about a character without a name, looking like a cross between a cat, a dog, the boogieman, an elf and clearly something born out of Dr. Seuss imagination.
This creature is sitting comfortably in his arm chair, reading, when out of nowhere appears "Sam-I-am" (I am Sam).
That Sam-I-am!
That Sam-I-am!
I do not like
That Sam-I-am!
... ...into sampling a plate of Green Eggs and Ham.
Do you like Green Eggs and Ham?
I do not like them, Sam-I-am
I do not like green eggs and ham.
The entire story revolves around Sam-I-am coming up with the most bizarre endeavours to lure our main creature into putting at least a single bite of green eggs and ham into his mouth.
Would you eat them in a box?
Would you eat them with a fox?
…………………………
You may like them,
You will see.

When Sam-I-am persits in pestering a grumpy grouch to eat a plate of green eggs and ham, perseverance wins the day, teaching us all that we cannot know what we like until we have tried it! With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked among the UK's top ten favourite children's authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold worldwide. As the first step in a major rebrand programme, HarperCollins is relaunching 17 of Dr. Seuss's best-selling books, including such perennial favourites as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. In response to consumer demand, the bright new cover designs incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels, with the standard paperbacks divided into three reading strands - Blue Back Books for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy.Green Eggs and Ham belongs to the Green Back Book range.
