A relentless character called Sam-I-am keeps pestering an unnamed grump to try a dish of green eggs and ham. Would you eat them in a house, with a mouse, in a box, with a fox, on a train, in the rain? The grump says no every time, across a long chain of rhymes and absurd settings, until he finally tastes the food. Dr. Seuss wrote it using only fifty different words, following a bet with his publisher.
Ideal for early readers and for parents reading aloud, since the repetition and rhythm help children recognize words and sound out patterns. Adults get a short reminder that you cannot know you dislike something until you give it a try.
Practical, outward-looking, growth-minded, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Practical Optimizer. Which reader are you?
