Green Eggs and Ham

This Dr. Seuss classic will have readers of all ages craving Green Eggs and Ham-no matter where they are!
              
                                                                                                       
I do not like
green eggs and ham.
I do not like them,
Sam-I-am.


With unmistakable characters and signature rhymes, Dr. Seuss's beloved favorite has cemented its place as a children's classic. Kids will love the terrific tongue-twisters as the list of places to enjoy green eggs and ham gets longer and longer...and they might even learn a thing or two about trying new things!

And don't miss the Netflix series adaptation – featuring the voice talents of Michael Douglas, Diane Keaton, Daveed Diggs, and more!

Originally created by Dr. Seuss himself, Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read. These unjacketed hardcover early readers encourage children to read all on their own, using simple words and illustrations. Smaller than the classic large format Seuss picture books like The Lorax and Oh, The Places You'll Go!, these portable packages are perfect for practicing readers ages 3-7, and lucky parents too!

I bought this for my 4 year old. He loved it and it was a success. The only fault was with the various small parts which were lovely but not conducive with the attention span of a young child. I appreciated the tiny details of luggage and coffee cups for the passengers but he found them all too easy to scatter. similarly, the pilots hat which would have survived if it had been stuck on his head...it is daily search to find it. Despite my comments above, this is a terrific toy and beautifully made. I recommend it.

This is the greatest story ever written. The doctor should have been hyped to Dr. Suess PhD, DDS, MD OvLuv because the man can spin a tail that brings tears to the most masculine of eyes. If you are into that whole men need to be tough thing. During my life, people have tried to argue for other books in the Seuss library, but those folks are wrong. Opinion does not even play a part. Stanford University did a study on the perfect combinations of words and then applied the equation to every book ever written. Green Eggs and Ham came out with the highest score. In fact, the second place score was 50% of the GEaH score. Don't bother looking it up because there are RFbF (Red Fish blue Fish) members that have infiltrated the librarian society and erased all of the evidence. It's a damn shame when people are still trying to deny the WORD. They have created songs to distract you telling you that the bird is in fact the word. Well it isn't the word, Kyle!

My 16, 15 and 13 year old all LOVED this book from ages 3-5, and I now purchased as part of a gift for my four year old nephew. I know he'll love it too! **16.9 oz water bottle for size reference**

I was hesitant to buy this book (that I love) because of so many negative reviews regarding paper quality. I actually removed it from my cart and then went to a book store to see the quality for myself. Yes, it is true that you can see some of the impressions of the previous page through the current page. However, I did not find it distracting in any way. I did not think it was a sign of poor paper quality. I thought the quality of the book felt as good as the one I had as a child. Because the images contain a lot of black lines and dark green ham :), I think it is inevitable that some of these lines will show through. Please, still consider buying this book. Please, still consider buying any/all Dr. Seuss books. I am so glad I bought this despite the reviews on paper quality. My husband read it before I wrapped it as a gift. He loved it and had no issues either!

I don’t write reviews but after the second time of getting this book and having the SAME issue, I have to. About half way through the book, it goes from page 47 of Green Eggs and Ham to page 43 of a different story (The Lorax maybe). I returned the first book thinking it was just a random mistake but after receiving the second book with the exact same problem, I know now it is the seller. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. I would give this zero stars if I could, now I will have to make my second trip to UPS to return this book.
