One of Dr Seuss's wonderful rhyming masterpieces, this one helps kids understand that they need to try something before declaring they won't eat it. Full of delicious creatures doing all sorts of weird things, it gives us Sam, a determined chap who pelts the other character (nameless) into having a go at 'green eggs and ham'. The other character is a grouchy sort that doesn't seem to like much of anything. He certainly doesn't like Sam: 'That Sam-I-am! That Sam-I-am! I do not like that Sam-I-am!' When Sam appears with a plate of green eggs and ham, the other character is appalled, but Sam isn't one for giving up. Would the other character like them 'in a house' or 'with a mouse'? No? Then how about 'in a box' or 'with a fox'? We see them in a car, in a train, in a plane and in the rain, but the answer is still no. When they sink the boat the train falls into, the other character finally gives in and says, 'Sam! If you will let me be, I will try them. You will see.' And, of course, he loves green eggs and ham! A super book for kids who are fussy eaters, this should do the trick if anything will. They will love the constant repetition and the whacky pictures and won't even realise they are learning a lesson.
