Description/Notes
A charming nonsense book. Sam-I-am relentlessly pursues a furry top-hatted creature trying every way he can think of to get the creature to eat green eggs and ham. The well-known, cleverly illustrated creatures and the silly rhyming text are perpetual favorites of young children. Readers love this debate, as Sam-I-Am makes a persuasive case for the eating of green eggs and ham to a listener who is dead certain of his own likes and dislikes. A rollicking rhythm arises from very few words, ingeniously used. Illus. in color. Sam-I-Am mounts a determined campaign to convince another Seuss character to eat a plate of green eggs and ham.

From the Hardcover edition. From this magically right beginning came the concept of Beginner Books, exacting blends of words and pictures that encourage children to read--all by themselves.
