Green Eggs and Ham - Dr. Seuss

Green Eggs and Ham is an immensely popular book by the immensely popular author, Dr. Seuss. This book follows the pattern of other Dr. Seuss books where there are silly characters with silly names which use mesmerizing rhymes and playful tones in order to captivate an audience and teach moral thought. This book in particular features a character named Sam-I-Am who tries to convince another character to try a new food, green eggs and ham. I would use this book in my classroom during an author study on Dr. Seuss, or during a unit on rhymes. This book wold also be great to use to teach children about the necessity of trying new things and being open minded. This book has a Scholastic Reading Grade Level Equivalent of 2.2.
