Green Eggs & Ham

Green Eggs & Ham is a 1960 children's book by Dr. Seuss.

Why We Should Try Green Eggs And Ham Here, There, and Anywhere

 * 1) Likable characters, like Sam-I-Am and the grumpy man (later Guy-Am-I in the Netflix show).
 * 2) Great writing with a lot of rhyming words that are very funny and clever.
 * 3) The idea of a grumpy man refusing to eat new food until the end is quite creative and interesting.
 * 4) It has a good moral which is that one should try something new even if they don't want to, because they won't know if they like something without trying it.
 * 5) The grumpy man also manages to be a hilarious narrator.
 * 6) "Would you like to eat Green Eggs and Ham?"
 * 7) It received a well-made and faithful adaptation as part of the DePatie-Freleng special, Dr. Seuss on the Loose, along with The Sneetches and The Zax.
 * 8) The 2019 Netflix television series is a very entertaining and well-received adaptation of the book.
 * 9) The Living Books Version was also very great.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Sam-I-Am can sometimes be a little bit unlikable due to the fact that he keeps on following the man around to make him eat green eggs and ham.
 * 2) *Guy-Am-I himself can also be a little unlikable sometimes due to hating green eggs and ham when he hasn't even tried them yet.
 * 3) The grumpy man that Sam pesters didn't have a name yet until the Netflix series.

Trivia

 * The reason this book exists is because Dr. Seuss made a bet with his publisher that he would make a book with only 50 different words.
