Green Eggs and Ham - Dr Seuss Reviews

I was a little dubious that a children's book from 1960, and and American one, and one with such an obvious 'lesson', would appeal to my children but I needn't have worried. They love it. This is a beautiful and silly book about one character claiming not to like something and another character pestering him till he tries it. It ...  Read the complete review

I have no idea why, but when my kids were young, some twenty-plus years ago, I did NOT like this book at all. I thought it was rubbish, and so my three never experienced the joys of Sam-I-Am until they were parents themselves, and I had re-discovered it and fallen in love. How could I have neglected my own children so? What could have prompted my ...  Read the complete review

Dr Seuss has written countless numbers of fun books for children and this one is Green Eggs and Ham. The cover of the book is Green with a red and white stripped banner down the left hand side and a picture of a yellow and white cat holding a plate of green eggs and ham and the title in white letting on the right hand side. The back ...  Read the complete review

Green Eggs and Ham was my favourite book when i was a child and now it is my childrens favourite too. First published in 1960 and now the 4th best childrens book of all time Green Eggs and Ham is a true classic. What's great about the dr seuss books is his wacky ryhmes that leave you tounge tied and mesmerised. I don't think ...  Read the complete review

***Background*** Dr Seuss is well known because of his many books and of course The Cat In The Hat has had a revival thanks to the film of the same name. His clever nonsensical rhymes have delighted children for many years and this one was first published way back in 1962. ***The Book*** The book starts with a ...  Read the complete review

~~~ 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 love of animals and the zoo topic would touch his works time and time ...  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. I only bought this as my oldest one (who is 5 now) is learning to read and her teacher had been reading this to the class at school and she had begged for about 2 weeks before I finally gave ...  Read the complete review

I first saw “Green Eggs and Ham” at the house of children I used to look alter almost 10 years ago. I remember not finding the illustrations so wonderful but thinking how clever the text was. I totally forgot about the book until my son was born. Having seen it on special offer on an internet site a couple of years ago, I ...  Read the complete review

Its time to rhyme Green eggs and Ham a book written by Dr Seuss (Theodor Giesel). I think Dr Seuss published this book in about 1960 so a lot of you out there will have read this book or other. I have seen it on sale for under £5 often as part of a set of Dr Seuss books or sold individually in many bookshops. I have had this book ...  Read the complete review

I will say this first I don't have any children...yet, so you may ask why I am doing an opinion about a children's book, well... I don't know why I am about to admit to this but... It all started one New Year's eve and at a friends house I looked upon their bookshelf and low and behold there was Green Eggs and Ham by ...  Read the complete review

Would you eat them with a fox? Green eggs and ham is a book from my childhood that I had completely forgotten. It had just hidden itself in the back of my mind and I had no recollection of it whatsoever. I rediscovered it recently while in the children's section of waterstones with a primary teacher friend of mine. To be honest ...  Read the complete review

As a child I was read this book and coming back to it I think it is completely wierd. I mean the drawings characters and plots are truly insane. Green eggs and ham indeed. I will say this for DrSeuss's books they did help me learn to read and they were certainly more inventive then some of the other options for parents. If ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Green eggs and ham - Dr seus is from amongst the few books i remember getting excited at when my parents or brother and sisters read it to me when i was a kid. So when i had my first child - i couldn't resist buying it for her even though shes only 15 months old. Its great - the repetition in it really gets her excited and t he pictures are ...  Read the complete review

Dr Suess writes stories that have that appeal of silliness to children, I mean Green Eggs? Quick, call Edwina Curry! Green Eggs and Ham doesn't actually have a story or a plot, it has a chanting rhyme theme with 'Sam-I-Am' offering the the other character a plate of green eggs and ham that is turned down whatever he says! Sounds ...  Read the complete review

I can remember Dr Seuss books from my on child hood. I loved them. I would have them read to me over and over , and when I could read for myself I read them over and over. Green Eggs and Ham was one of my favourites. I bought a copy of it when i was expecting my eldest daugher(she's 17 now) and I read it to her from the moment I ...  Read the complete review

I can't imagine having more fun learning phoncs than with this book. The constant drills of sounds and spelling are made fun. The story itself also has meaning, in that the thing most desperately avoided and shunned by the main charcter turned out to be a great treat. I saw a video version of this book once, and it missed the point of the ...  Read the complete review

Dr Seuss has achieved the almost impossible. He has written books that are simple to read for beginners, fun for adults to read aloud and that are moral without being moralistic. I love them. The repetition and the rhyming make 'Green Eggs and Ham' an ideal book to help reluctant readers, who can get into the flow of the book. ...  Read the complete review

I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them Sam I am!.... This is one of the Dr Seuss classics that I'll always remember from childhood. My mum never used to tire of reading it to me and, as I've grown up, I can understand why. I think Dr seuss is probably the most barmy author ever....His books are always totally original and ...  Read the complete review
