Green Eggs and Ham,
Green Eggs and Ham,
I'm one who likes this,
Yes I am.

Have YOU read Green eggs and Ham?
You have not read Green eggs and Ham?
Then I will tell you what I can.

This book, I think, is really great
Written by Theodor Geisel (late)
He's Dr.Seuss, his name you've heard,
He had a gift for the rhyming word.

This book's about Green Eggs and Ham,
And oddly named young 'Sam-I-Am'
He tries to show them to his friend
Who just refuses to amend
His dislike of Green Eggs and Ham
(He does not like them Sam-I-Am!)

He offers them in many ways
He offers them for many days
But each time gets the same reply-
His friend just simply gives the cry-
'I Do Not Like Green Eggs and Ham!
I do not like them, Sam-I-Am'

He offers them in situations
In cars, on boats, (though not on stations)
In boxes, even in a tree,
They even end up in the sea,
'Till finally the friend gives in
And says that he will try this thing
Just to keep young Sam-I quiet
But soon as he does dare to try it-

He sees he likes this quirky dish
So leaves behind the sea, and fish
And thanks his good friend Sam-I-Am-
For he DOES like green eggs and ham.

This book you guessed is all in rhyme,
That Doctor Seuss rhymes all the time
But though this is a younger book,
There's many more would like to look,
They enjoy the rhymes and pictures too,
Whether read by them or read by you,
The younger (non) readers will have fun,
They'll join in as you read along,
They?ll learn; remember every rhyme
And join in saying it, time after time,
Then as the children learn to read,
This is a book where they'll succeed,
The vocab used is oft repeated
And simple-they'll not come unseated,
And children who are older still,
Will love it too- they will,
they will,
They'll like the silliness of the book,
They'll like to take a closer look
At the illustrations clear and funny
In a book that's more than worth the money
(And while we're on the subject, mine
Was bought not long ago-two ninety nine!)
And children past the age of ten
Who've read this book will read again
Though younger ones and learner readers
Are the target here-it creates succeeders
In the art of reading- Take a look
I really recommend this book!


(It's also on a Cd, too
A computer one, it's true, it's true!
And though I have not seen it yet
I'm told it's really good to get!)

And now an update on this op,
(Stop thinking 'will he ever stop?')
For I can add an extra view
From Thomas Hodgson, now aged 2,
Who likes this book by Dr.Seuss
And others too, he wants their use
For reading to him night and day,
He does not want them put away!

This book (and 'Hop on pop') you see,
Are often read to him, by me.
I say this to impress on you,
He loves this books, and you will too!
