Rating:  Summary: Funny! Review: My daughter and I enjoy reading Sam. I remember hiding this book in a "safe" place in the library when I was still in grade school so that I can read it again and again. I particularly like the illustrations and the wordings. In fact, the rhyming gets to you head after a while until you memorize the whole book! Weird yet funny! Recommended for kids 2 to 92!
Rating:  Summary: A Magical Message About Observation & Persistence! Review: This book is more than a children's story. It is a text for any adult in life too. If you consider it 'Sam I Am' was the ultimate salesperson fo all time. I have handed this book to new sales trainees wanting to know 'how to sell' as it gets across the simple example of 'persistence pays off'. It sheds light in the manner that salespeople are really the people whose task it is to introduce new things into the society, and it is upon their efforts and results that measure the new technology or products ultimate success. No new technology goes anywhere without someone along the line selling it to someone. I have long since felt that this simple tale by Dr. Suess conveyed that lesson with this story about 'Sam I Am'.Additionally this book carries with it a message about really looking and observing for yourself, and not just allowing your observations about life to be confined into a snap answer to everything along the lines of 'It's new or different, I don't like it and won't condsider it.' Or 'It's not socially acceptable, I couldn't possibly...' The resistent man in this tale finally is made to really see things for himself, and disregard his previous fixed opinions about things. Ultimately he is enlightened upon the glories of Sam's offering of Green Eggs and Ham, and he finds upon actually trying them that he likes them. This is a timeless story that holds an incredible message about observation and on the flip side, persistence. Look at it this way: had Sam not persisted with his sales efforts, the man would have been denied the happiness he ultimately found in trying Green Eggs and Ham. Also if the man never looked and finally tried it for himself, he would have missed out on some happiness he did not know existed, because he was forbidding himself to actually look and experience it himself and knocking aside all social considerations that would retrain him. I consider this to be more than just a story spun by Dr. Suess for entertainment of children, but more exactly a lesson about life to be understood at all levels of society. A elegant masterpiece if wisdom.
Rating:  Summary: Phun with Phonics Review: I can't imagine having more fun learning phonics than with this book. The constant drills of sounds and spelling are made fun. The story itself also has meaning, in that the thing most desperately avoided and shunned by the main character turned out to be a great treat. I saw a video version of this book once, and it missed the point of the reading drills entirely. Dr. Seuss books are meant to be books read by children.

Rating:  Summary: master of the hard sell Review: This is a true classic. Sam I am is the master of the hard sell. He goes to the greatest lengths to persuade the other character to eat a plate of green eggs and ham. All the rhymes are hysterical. I recommend this book for everybody.
Rating:  Summary: The Best Dr. Seuss Book Review: This is the most fascinating book written by Dr. Seuss. He wrote this book as a bet for $50 that he could not write a book with a 50 word vocabulary. He proved the guy wrong. This book also teaches a moral lesson that you shouldn't "knock it till you tried it." This is definately the greatest book written by Theodor Seuss Geisel.
Rating:  Summary: Every Child MUST have this Book! Review: This book is a Classic. I never thought that one day I would sit and read this book to my children, but that day has come. My 5 year old knows this book by heart. He cannot actually read the words, yet, everyday after school he picks it out from amongst his books to read it to me. I find that endearing. I know that if you have children, Dr. Seuss is a must! The rhyming lyrics are smooth and musical to the ear and children find "Sam" a riot. This is a great book to be read to children, or for children to read themselves!
Rating:  Summary: My favourite! Review: My mom read this to me until I started saying it in my sleep when I was little. I loved it. I even enjoyed MAKING green eggs and ham. I was obsessed. Any kid will enjoy this book from birth until death do they part! Parents, but this! Kids....encourage your parents to buy this! This is a legend, and it is sin for a child never to be exposed to it!
