My daughter's favourite book!

Posted : 2 years, 5 months ago on 15 June 2007 07:10 (A review of Green Eggs and Ham)

I've already a borrowed it 3 times in a row from the local library, I think it's perhaps time to buy this book for my daughters' upcoming 3rd birthday. She absolutely loves this book, with its repetitive phrases, rhymes, hilarious illustrations and such great execution. Basically Sam I Am is trying to force some mean old grinch to eat green eggs and ham, and for every scenario, in a tree, in a house, with a fox, with a mouse, he says no no no! my kid is absolutely mesmerized by this book, giggling her pretty head off thru all of it. Nowadays, the quality of the new childrens books is appalling. Nobody can come close to the absolute charm of Dr. Seuss books, and 'Green Eggs and Ham' is our favourite, even more than the adorable 'Cat in the Hat' and 'Cat in the Hat Returns'.

If you have a young toddler, I urge you to look for this classic. I'll guarantee your kid will love it, more so than those ridiculous 'Dora' or 'Barbie' or 'My Little Pony' marketing books the stores try to push down on our kids.
