Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss


Dr. Seuss. Green Eggs and Ham. New York: Random House Books for Young Readers, 1960.

This classic book will be one that generations to come will be reading. Sam-I-am is determined to have the no name skeptic try the green eggs and ham with every possible scenario one could think of. As children turn each page a new possibility will be given, but also reviews previous ones allowing a reoccurring of vocabulary words. Finally, the no name character decides to take a bite to hush up Sam-I-am and realizes that green eggs and ham are great and he will eat them in any way given like in a house or with a mouse. To add to this great classic, the illustrations are done with bright colors, like green and red, which will catch young children’s eyes. So between the fun illustrations and the rhyming words readers will be mesmerized by this Dr. Seuss book.
