Rating:  Summary: Child's review Review: This is a great begining reader's book. The words are relatively simple and the repition and rhyme in the book make the words and their context meanings more memorable for the child to remember. The silly situations in which the main character is asked to eat also adds some clever entertainment to the book that your child will find funny.
Rating:  Summary: My Favorite Dr. Seuss Book Review: "Green Eggs & Ham" is my favorite book by Dr. Seuss. I have even read it in Spanish, though my Spanish is VERY weak, it was fun to read. I have read this book so many times that I have it memorized. It is great when little kids want me to read the book because I get all excited during the reading and will make funny faces when Sam I Am offers green eggs and ham.This book is a classic and just plain fun to read. To add to the "Green Eggs & Ham" fun, try making green eggs for breakfast.
Rating:  Summary: This is even better than THE CAT IN THE HAT Review: I have been a BIG Dr Seuss fan for the past 40 years, and I have a confession: this one is even better than his more famous THE CAT IN THE HAT. (So why is this only 27,000 on the list and the more famous book in the top 10? Go buy tens of copies of THIS book for all your children, nephews, nieces, grandkids, godchildren and get those ratings changed....) It is to me even cleverer than its famous companion, and gets children interested in not just reading but language as well - my wife, another old Seuss fan, got her love of language and puns from books like this and your children will too. OK, let them read THE CAT IN THE HAT, but then make sure that they enjoy this one too and see if they don't actually enjoy it more.

Rating:  Summary: Always a great book! Review: I have always loved "Green Eggs and Ham" along with the rest of the Dr Suess books and it's great to see it back on the best-seller list. If you havn't read it, rush out and buy a copy now - and buy the Cat in the Hat and The Cat in the Hat comes Back at the same time! Come on, Christmas is just around the corner, and reading this to kids, or to oneself is a treat!
Rating:  Summary: An all-time favorite Review: I loved this book as a child, I love this book as a parent. It's a very good one for beginning readers, because most of the words are easy-to-read in terms of phonics. With just a few phonics rules, most kids can master this book pretty quickly. As for the subject of the book, it's brilliant. Every child can relate to the topic of being afraid of a new food that looks weird. It's so imaginative... really, a wild enough story to satisfy any child.
Rating:  Summary: Green Eggs and Ham Review: The book "Green Eggs and Ham" was a good book. It was about a guy named Sam who didn't want to eat any eggs or ham, no matter how hard his friend tried to get him to eat some, because they were green. It teaches a good lesson about how some things aren't as bad as they seem. This is an important lesson for kids to learn. The age level is better for younger kids like 1st through 3rd. I think this book was a good book that even I enjoyed.
Rating:  Summary: Green Eggs and Ham Review: The book that I read was Green Eggs and Ham.It is about two people one of the is The Cat in the Hat, and the other is Sam. Sam likes Green eggs and ham and tries to convince The Cat in the Hat that they are really good. The Cat in the Hat doesnt want anything to with Sam because he think hes annoying. I think this book teaches a lesson. I think the lesson is try everything once even if you dont like it. I think the appropiate age level on thid book is between the ages 7 and 8. I really like the book becasue it is funny and convincing.
Rating:  Summary: Green I've seen, Green I've been Review: I would not eat Green Eggs and Ham I would though read it, oh yes maam For in this tale of silly food There is no doubt fulfilling good Who wouldn't find it appetising? 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 age Happy birthday to you this day May you have your eggs your way In heaven as we read below The pleasing tale of eggs aglow With some weird dye, an Irish egg? I've had green beer, was it a keg? But this should be a family verse and green beer does become too terse So now, dear friend, go buy the book Open it up and take a look You'll never be sorry, you'll never frown This short tale won't let you down And may you be just who you are We're all Sam, both near and far But we're ourselves, and this is true This book was meant for me and you. If Dr. Seuss is best known as the author of 'The Cat in the Hat', this text is a very close second. Its simple rhyme scheme and vocabulary is a perfect exemplar of Seussian construction, making it delightful for both children and adults. The vocabulary expands from that of 'The Cat in the Hat', making this almost a stealth-educational tool -- stealth in that children don't realise they're learning, and often adults don't realise that the playful use of language is educational. This is a must for every child's library. They needn't be named Sam.
Rating:  Summary: Get this book for your kids!!! Review: Get this book for your kids - they will love you for it! Although you may end up hating it they'll have you reading it so much. :-) It was my absolute favorite book growing up, and my dad still knows every word by heart (so do I), and still groans loudly when I mention it. He was very good at reading it out loud, though, I think it is easy to do with this book. All the cool sounds and the rhyming and the patterns in the words were one of the things that turned me on to reading as a kid and showed me just how fun it could be.
Rating:  Summary: Sam I am Review: "Green Eggs and Ham"... is there any doubt that it's a five star book? This is one of Dr. Seuss's many classics and a favorite of children and adults generation after generation. Definitely pick it up and add it to your collection.
