Notes: It's like a song (or a sing-along!), a chorus constantly repeating, all simple words, and the plot's wonderfully absurd—enchanting the everyday.

Dr. Seuss's *Green Eggs and Ham* feels like pure, unadulterated fun. For parents looking for engaging children's books, this is a must-read.

Here are green eggs and ham in real life. They're made of danger.courtesy of this woman who is undoubtedly super niceIf your ham and eggs are green, they are rancid. Of course they are! That's what green means! They're poison now. You're going to be sick. Tautological nightmare Sam I Am is trying to convince our protagonist – unnamed, like the boy in Cat in the Hat and others in Seuss's Kafkaesque universe – to eat rancid food. Understandably, our hero is reluctant. But Sam I Am won't quit. He u...

Let me start by saying I'm a huge Dr. Seuss fan. I just finished reading 'Green Eggs and Ham' with my granddaughter, and we both absolutely loved it. In a nutshell, the book encourages kids to give things a try before deciding they don't like them. The illustrations are fantastic! I honestly think we could all learn something from Dr. Seuss's 'Green Eggs and Ham'. It's a delightful read and a great book review choice for parents!

Book Review4 out of 5 stars for Green Eggs and Ham, a picture book by Dr. Seuss, published back in 1960. This is another utterly delightful children's book, packed with amazing images and fantastic rhymes. These books are such great tools for getting young kids engaged with reading super early. The topic of this one? Sam-I-Am and all the *places* you can eat green eggs and ham! Okay, some of the things they eat and places they go are maybe not 100% suitable for kids, but it's all meant as humor ...

I don't believe that Dr. Seuss, Deserves godhood, like Thor or Zeus. And if you despise "Green Eggs and Ham," My friend, I couldn't care a damn.

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who like Green Eggs and Ham, and those who don't. Well, three. Those who like Green Eggs and Ham. Those who don't. And those who like the green eggs but not the ham. It's just ham, not green ham. We should get that straight. Oh, correction, it's green ham too. Anyhow four kinds of people. The haters, the likers, the green egg but not green hams, and the green hams but not green eggs. Actually I guess there are the people who would eat them wit...

The Argyle Sweater by Scott HilburnOkay. I'd never heard this little story before. Apparently, this book... . . . was written on a bet. Bennett Cerf, co-founder of Random House and Seuss’s editor, bet him $50 that he couldn’t write a book using only 50 unique words. Seuss made it work with exactly 50—but Cerf never paid his debt. Seuss probably didn’t notice, as the book went on to become one of the best-selling picture books ever written (with any number of words).The 50 unique words, in case y...

Say! I love Green Eggs and Ham. I do! I love it, Seuss-I-am. So I will read it with my kid, Or they will read it, like they did. And I will read it with my friend, And we will read it 'til the end. And I will read it to my pup, And she will love it, bottoms up! And I will read it in the rain, And I will read it on a train. And I will read it in my socks, And I will read it with a fox. And I will read it in the shower, And I will read it every hour. And I will read it doing dishes, And I will re...

This is a surprisingly complex story about two individuals from completely different backgrounds. Introvert, extrovert... optimist, pessimist... you get the picture. It also cleverly mirrors the generational divide between those stuck in their routines and those open to exploring new approaches to life. However you interpret it, there's an initial, almost awkward, clash between the two main characters in this saga. Nevertheless, you can't help but keep turning the pages as you delve into the sto...
