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

This timeless Dr. Seuss classic was first published in 1960, and has been delighting ... more
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 thisnouvellecuisine--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 readingGreen Eggs and Hamfor 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: Great Dr Seuss Book Disadvantages: None
Dr Seuss has written countless numbers of fun books for children and this one is GreenEggs 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 greeneggs 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 greeneggs and ham, he says he does not like them. Sam goes on pestering him about liking greeneggs and ham and taking him to funny places asking him if he would like them there.
Would he give in and try the greeneggs ...

of their First Motion Picture Unit. He is credited with several training films, a few documentaries of note, and a propaganda film that had peacetime in Germany after the war as its subject.
Perhaps his greatest achievement came after the war, however. In 1954, Life magazine did a report on childhood illiteracy, resulting in the forward thinking actions of Seuss? publisher. They drew up a list of 250 keywords, and challenged Seuss to use ONLY those words in a story. The result was the famed ?Cat in the Hat? and was the start of the Beginner Books. Later, being challenged to write a story with only 50 words, he again succeeded with the beloved classic GreenEggs 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 ...

through the tale. The illustrations tend to prompt giggles and the kids love to join in with "I do not like them, Sam-I-Am, I do not like GreenEggs and Ham". It is brilliant.
There is now a children's video version as well, brightly illustrated, brings the book characters to life. kids love it, so add it to the video shelf, too.
The repetition can be used to help children learn to read but, if nothing else, prepares them for language and introduces poetry to them, long before they have a chance to "hate" poetry in school. Foster it early, and it will endure! I can't change my children's childhood, but I can ensure that I give the "GreenEggs and Ham" experience to lots more kids in the future. ...
