Amazon.co.uk Review
This timeless Dr. Seuss classic was first published in 1960, and has been delighting readers ever since. Sam-I-Am is as persistent as a telemarketer, changing as many variables as possible in the hopes of convincing the nameless sceptic that green eggs and ham are a delicacy to be savoured. He tries every manner of presentation with this nouvelle cuisine--in a house, with a mouse, in a box, with a fox, with a goat, on a boat--to no avail. Then finally, finally the doubter caves in under the tremendous pressure exerted by the tireless Sam-I-Am. And guess what? Well, you probably know what happens, but even after reading Green Eggs and Ham for the thousandth time, the climactic realization that green eggs and ham are "so good, so good, you see" is still a rush. As usual, kids will love Dr. Seuss's wacky rhymes and whimsical illustrations--and this time, they might even be so moved as to finally take a taste of their broccoli. (Ages 4 to 8)

Would recommend to anyone.
Delightfull ... a bit repetetive August 23, 2010
John Penfold
Dr Sueuss books engage and delight with the zany and the unexpected. The drawings as much as the text.
But they are all different. You never get the feeling that a Dr Suess book is just more of the same.
Green Eggs And Ham is a single story that needs reading from beginning to end. There is no way that your kids will let you put this one down half way through. That is about 20 minutes or more, depending on how much your child explores the pictures. It also needs to be read with your child(ren) looking at the pictures and pointing out the bits that delight them. It doesn't work without the pictures.
This one is repetitive in the same way as the song "Old MacDonald Had a Farm": the events are continually restated as an ever-growing list of things. Kids love the repetition but I found that it took the edge off my own enjoyment after the first ten readings. But not my girls !
For a single story that is less repetitive, try The Cat In The Hat (by Dr Seuss - not the awful Disney re-make !).
I did not think this would be good bed-time reading because of the squeals of delight and excitement that it provokes, but they seem to settle down to sleep straight after anyway.
Classic early-years must have! July 11, 2010

My 3 year old is just as in love with this book as I remember being when I was her age. In fact I'm not sure who it enjoys it more when I read it to her...
