~~~ A bit about the author and how the book came to be~~~~ On March 2, 1904, Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father was a park commisioner for Queen Victoria Park at Niagra Falls, and actually owned the zoo within its grounds.

His middle name of Seuss was also his mother’s maiden name, and first appeared as his by line while at university, when he was forced by the college to officially resign from his extra curricular activities after being caught breaking ...  Read the complete review

I got this from Amazon as part of a "two for a fiver" promotion. I got this one and also "The Cat In The Hat" for my two girls.

Having been a great fan of Dr Seuss books when i was young was amazed when my son came home from school saying they had had a new story which he loved called green eggs and ham. He went on to recite various parts of the poem with such enthuasism i had to go out and buy him the book. We now all enjoy reading this book together as a family and even our three year old daughter can recite bits of the book. The poem is about trying to get his friend to eat green eggs and ham and saying he would not like them in various places until in the end he finally tries them and likes them!! The book is illustrated with large bright pictures which cause as much ...  Read the complete review
