Les Oeufs Verts au Jambon (Green Eggs and Ham)

Banned book? Why? ( )

A great children's book ( )

Green Eggs and Ham tells the story of Sam I Am who refuses to try the funny dish. At the end of the story, Sam I Am finally tried the green eggs and finds he actually likes them. This is a great book to teach young children about poetry and rhyme. ( )

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.

This one is a classic book to have in one's text set. This book has been enjoyed by multiple generations throughout the United States. I really like this book's message about persuasion is very good and it relays the message of consistency really well. I think the visual components are also really nice and I think it should be continued to be used for generations to come. ( )
