Green Eggs and Ham
By Dr. Seuss
TO celebrate the 50th anniversary of Green Eggs and Ham, Dr Seuss’ much-loved classic is now available for the first time in picture book format.
When Sam-I-am persists in pestering a grumpy grouch to eat a plate of green eggs and ham, perseverance wins the day, teaching us all that we cannot know what we like until we have tried it!
Suitable for children aged 5 to 7, this is a wonderful addition to the Dr. Seuss shelves.
Youngsters will also enjoy Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax Go Green! Colouring and Activity Book priced at around £3.99 in paperback.
Green Eggs and Ham is also available in paperback for approximately £5.99 as well as a version which includes a CD of the book read by Adrian Edmondson for around £7.99, and they’re all published by HarperCollins.
