Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: 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 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) Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Buy for people you hateThis is one of the most irritating books ever printed. Buy for anyone you really dislike and feel satisfied that every time they have to read it they will be driven insane by it's wittering drivel. Rating: - Seuss achieves so much with so littleMuch has been written about how Green Eggs and Ham is about leaving our comfort zone to try new things, and how it's like an allegory of telemarketeers changing their tactics in order to sell their products. However, I would like to mention the amazing thing about how Dr. Seuss only used 50 words for this book. Seuss has come up with a hilarious story with his rhymed silliness, but this story allows us to see how the negations get compounded as this cumulative story progresses, no matter how many settings Sam-I-am persuades his client to eat his plate of green eggs and ham. This is truly an exhilarating book that should count as one of Seuss's masterpieces. Rating: - Everyone should own his entire collection!!I am not going to single out one title in particular because each title is a gem. Every person young and old should own the Dr Seuss collection. My dad bought the collection for my eldest when he was 3. Back then he used to think the stories were funny and he loved the pictures. Now seven years old, he can see that the stories are also clever. He is understanding and pointing out the life lessons...... they are making him think! They make me think!! I have another 3 year old now and he loves them just as much as his big brother. They are bouncy and hypnotic, clever and funny, deep and light hearted, shaming (points the mirror sometimes), lifting and encouraging........ ...

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 Using the most simple word And no complex sentence structure No moralistic high brow lecture Just a simple tale of love Hidden low and up above And permeates on every page To reach the souls of every ... Read More: Rating: - Dr. Seuss explores the principle of "try it, you'll like it"When Theodor "Ted" Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, died at the age of 87 on September 24, 1991, the best tribute of all to the beloved author and illustrator of children's books came four days later when the Rev. Jeese Jackson read "Green Eggs and Ham" during the Weekend Update segment of the season premier of "Saturday Night Live." That performance was so unexpectedly moving that it is impossible for me to read this classic tale for beginning readers and not hear Jackson's rhythm and cadences. The protagonist of "Green Eggs and Ham" expresses the fact that he does not like Sam-I-am, so when Sam-I-am asks him if he likes green eggs and ham the response is also a negative. The equating of the green eggs and ham with Sam-I-am is extended ... Read More: |
