Summary: Resistance is Futile... You will be Assimilated
Review: Green Eggs and Ham is more than a simple children's tale of the need to try new foods. It is a disturbing glimpse at the Cold War forces that made Eisenhower-era America the stifling society it was, a nightmare for the creative and intellectual classes.

It begins with an Everyman innocently reading in, we should presume, his own home. A stranger runs past him with a wooden sign announcing that he is Sam. Our protagonist recognizes he is the victim of a home invasion, but like so many restrained Updike males, is unable to voice his objection to his domestic tranquility being shattered, other than to utter a powerless plea that he doesn't care for this Sam character.

Sam, having taken the upper hand, moves beyond in-your-face picketing (note the clever denegration of peace activists by this introduction) and will now force our hero to eat some offensive looking victuals: meat clearly in the advanced stages of rot, and eggs to match. There is a suggestion that the spineless victim brought this upon himself by hiding from society, engaging in anti-American activity by reading books. The reader is left to ponder whether the victim is a Communist, or at the very least a vegetarian. For this reason, Sam, cleverly named to represent the consensus view of these United States, must prevail.

The victim's protests are many, his attempts at evasion numerous. Leaving the safety of his home only increases his discomfort; he is forced to endure the company of several possibly rabid mammals, all while Sam keeps shoving the unwanted offal in his face. While he has removed the irrepressible Sam from his house, he must also deal with roller-coaster rides into the water, while getting rained on and being forced to climb a tree; none of these being interests of your typical egghead. As the story moves along, the reader feels less and less sympathy for the victim, blaming his situation on his noncomformity, even if the society of those who wish him to eat rotten animal products are animals themselves.

The presumptive lesson of this book is that one must conform to social pressure, or even worse things will happen. This fable is an important lesson for today, with so many anti-intellectual messages coming from both government and media. Viewed in its proper context, we see it as a cautionary tale of a hellishly restrictive society that is back with a vengeance.

Summary: Green Eggs And Ham
Review: Green Eggs and Ham is a very fun book to read.It reminds me of when i try some different or new type of food. I will not want to try it and i will think it taste nasty but then i get the urge to taste it and i like it.Then i laugh at myself cuz i make a big deal out of something so small. This book just has a very good way of making someone want to try something new i think. These little kids dont need much to get interested in a book. Something like this will do them very good. If the book gets them to lauhg or smile..you know its a good book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Try It, You Might Like It
Review: This is very well written and unlike some children's books has a valuable lesson. Learning to appreciate different foods means learning about different cultures and becoming more well rounded.
A well rounded diet is also the key to long life. Too much chicken and beef is not only unhealthy but hurts the environment. The first time I tried anchovies, I couldn't wait to take them off the pizza. Later on, I fell in love with anchovies.
Now I order pizza with nothing but anchovies! I even leave off the cheese!
Some people even suggested I join AA but my anchovy addiction goes far beyond rehabilitation!!!!!!!!

Summary: Better than the Cat in the Hat!!!!!!!!
Review: I gave my collection of Seuss books to my 2 yr old sister for her birthday and she loves this book! The first book that I read to her was, naturally, the Cat In the Hat. She enjoyed the book. The next book I read to her was Green Eggs and Ham. She LOVED it- she would run up to one of us and ask us to read Green Eggs and Ham to her. This Christmas I will buy her the green eggs and ham game. To get even more involved with this book, make Green Eggs and Ham for breakfast. Here's the secret- add avacado to scrambled eggs and put avacado on top of ham. Enjoy the book !!
