( )Green eggs and ham has to be one of the most popular books for kids out there. It is a lot of repatition and rhyming. This book is about Sam I am, and how he is trying to get someone to eat green eggs and ham. One of the common lines in the book is, I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them Sam I am, in the end he tries them and likes them. Which tells children that they don’t know if they like something until they try them. This is a great beginning reader and rhyming book for children. This is the story of Sam I am trying to convince the grown up gentleman to try the green eggs and ham. He keeps going to different locations in an effort to convince him to try the green eggs and ham until finally he tries them and realizes that he does like green eggs and ham and he thanks Sam I am for having him try them. I love Dr. Seuss books, his simple rhymes make his book easy to read and very memorable. I love the way this simple story of Sam I am getting the grown up to eat the green eggs and ham also teaches children not to judge a book by its cover. I especially like the fact that they referenced the color green since we know most children hate vegetables so you can relate the story to vegetables. This book can be used to discuss many of the things that we dislike based on their appearance. With young children the discussion can be started off with talking about vegetables, after discussing the book they may realize that they may like the vegetables if they did try them. It can also be applied to people, books, etc. Who doesn't love this book???? Grren Eggs and Ham is about Sam I am. He is trying to convince this creature that green eggs and ham are good to eat. He wants him to try them in a variety of places to see if he likes them there. It is finally discovered at the end that he does like green eggs and ham. This is a classic story and it was my favorite growing up. I love the rhyming and creativity that it showed. It made it easy to memorize. Since it was the only book I checked out of the library in 2nd grade, I had it memorized.I enjoyed readingit to my kids when they were little and to my class at school. When you read the book green eggs and ham you could also talk about Dr. Suess and tell about who he really was. I have also made green eggs and ham for my class after reading this story. They LOVED them..It is different looking though if you put ketchup on them. You could also talk about some other strange foods that we like to eat. 0.057 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0394800168, Library Binding)This timeless Dr. Seuss classic was first published in 1960, and has been delighting 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 skeptic that green eggs and ham are a delicacy to be savored. He tries every manner of presentation with this "nouveau 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 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 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.
