This Dr. Seuss classic will have readers of all ages craving Green Eggs and Ham—no matter where they are!

I do not like
green eggs and ham.
I do not like them,
Sam-I-am.

With unmistakable characters and signature rhymes, Dr. Seuss’s beloved favorite has cemented its place as a children’s classic. Kids will love the terrific tongue-twisters as the list of places to enjoy green eggs and ham gets longer and longer...and they might even learn a thing or two about trying new things!

And don’t miss the Netflix series adaptation – featuring the voice talents of Michael Douglas, Diane Keaton, Daveed Diggs, and more!

Originally created by Dr. Seuss himself, Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read. These unjacketed hardcover early readers encourage children to read all on their own, using simple words and illustrations. Smaller than the classic large format Seuss picture books like The Lorax and Oh, The Places You’ll Go!, these portable packages are perfect for practicing readers ages 3-7, and lucky parents too!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The good doctor has scored another triumph."--The New York Times

"Limited vocabulary but unlimited exuberance of illustration."--School Library Journal.

Amazon.com Review

Young fans of the unflappable Sam-I-am will be pleased as punch to discover the plethora of flaps to lift in this 10-page board book version of the Dr. Seuss classic. Sam-I-am does his very best to convince a more finicky Seuss character to try this rather unusual delicacy.

Would you? Could you? In a car?
Eat them! Eat them! Here they are.
You may like them. You will see.
You may like them in a tree!

To which the exasperated doubter replies:

I would not,
could not, in a tree.
Not in a car!
You let me be.

On every page readers will find sturdy, easy-to-lift flaps behind which reside the familiar characters and lines of the unique 1960 classic--except for the last page. Here, blank spaces lurk behind the flaps, just waiting to be filled in with peel-off pictures from the accompanying sheet of silly stickers. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

A received a defective book. It has pages in it from two different books.

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

I purchased this as a birthday present, and didn't realized the problem for a couple of weeks, when I read it myself.

The book has pages in it from two different books: page 1 through 44 of Green Eggs and Ham, followed by pages 43 through 61 of Fox in Sox.

Not only are the pages from Fox in Sox too difficult, but Green Eggs and Ham is incomplete.

As I said, this was a birthday present, and I didn't catch the problem until I sat down to read the book myself. Even though the return window has closed, I think I should be allowed to exchange this defective book for one that is properly printed and assembled.

NOT a board book!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

The “board book” version is NOT a board book! It’s a flimsy, paperback, lift-the-flap version with stickers that my 10 month old tore up the first day. I really wanted to be able to read this to my baby so I decided to order again. I figured that I’d just made a mistake the first time and ordered the wrong thing, so I carefully selected “board book” making sure to double check the description before purchasing. Lo and behold the same awful version of this book showed up a second time! I’m so disappointed!

Do not buy!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020

I don’t write reviews but after the second time of getting this book and having the SAME issue, I have to. About half way through the book, it goes from page 47 of Green Eggs and Ham to page 43 of a different story (The Lorax maybe). I returned the first book thinking it was just a random mistake but after receiving the second book with the exact same problem, I know now it is the seller. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. I would give this zero stars if I could, now I will have to make my second trip to UPS to return this book.

My Favorite Children's Book

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

It is my favorite children's book. I bought it for my grandchildren and look forward to reading it to them. I want them to grow up enjoying the feel of a book; the sound and the motion of turning each page. It is a sensory delight that should be indelibly imprinted into their memories as was mine. A gift of togetherness and love they can share with the young ones that come into their lives in years to come.

You can't beat Seuss, but you can add Shel Silverstein & Graeme Base to your collection too!
Good price.
Hardback slick surface makes it easy to wipe clean.

Paper quality is NOT that bad - you should buy this book!

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

I was hesitant to buy this book (that I love) because of so many negative reviews regarding paper quality. I actually removed it from my cart and then went to a book store to see the quality for myself. Yes, it is true that you can see some of the impressions of the previous page through the current page. However, I did not find it distracting in any way. I did not think it was a sign of poor paper quality. I thought the quality of the book felt as good as the one I had as a child. Because the images contain a lot of black lines and dark green ham :), I think it is inevitable that some of these lines will show through. Please, still consider buying this book. Please, still consider buying any/all Dr. Seuss books. I am so glad I bought this despite the reviews on paper quality. My husband read it before I wrapped it as a gift. He loved it and had no issues either!

This is the greatest story ever written. The doctor should have been hyped to Dr. Suess PhD, DDS, MD OvLuv because the man can spin a tail that brings tears to the most masculine of eyes. If you are into that whole men need to be tough thing. During my life, people have tried to argue for other books in the Seuss library, but those folks are wrong. Opinion does not even play a part.

Stanford University did a study on the perfect combinations of words and then applied the equation to every book ever written. Green Eggs and Ham came out with the highest score. In fact, the second place score was 50% of the GEaH score. Don't bother looking it up because there are RFbF (Red Fish blue Fish) members that have infiltrated the librarian society and erased all of the evidence.

It's a damn shame when people are still trying to deny the WORD. They have created songs to distract you telling you that the bird is in fact the word. Well it isn't the word, Kyle!

Excellent l toy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my 4 year old. He loved it and it was a success. The only fault was with the various small parts which were lovely but not conducive with the attention span of a young child. I appreciated the tiny details of luggage and coffee cups for the passengers but he found them all too easy to scatter. similarly, the pilots hat which would have survived if it had been stuck on his head...it is daily search to find it.
Despite my comments above, this is a terrific toy and beautifully made. I recommend it.

One of the must haves for Dr Suess books

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

I always wanted these books as a child, bought them countless times for friends children and now I can buy them for my own. My little boy started a bedtime routine at 4 months so I picked up a few books for Christmas and this was number one of the Dr Seuss books on my list.

At 7 months we've been reading for a while now and although he cant understand the story yet, my baby boy has been absolutely facinated since an early stage with looking at the bright colourful pages and watching me read.

Great addition to any library and for all ages to enjoy.

Fun book for young children

Simple fun book with bright pictures and a lot of repetition which helped my son to recognise new words. For months this was the only book I was allowed to read to him at bedtime and it wasn't long before he was able to read it himself.

Great book. Won’t work with Alexa

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 28, 2020

I love this book to read to my two year old. He’ll shout “Sam!”, clap and shout when the grouch tries the green eggs and ham. I bought it because Alexa said she can read kindle books. Apparently not this one though. Bit gutted, but I guess it’s my own fault for not understanding that because it has illustrations, Alexa can’t read it.
