Green Eggs and Ham
Book • 1960
In this beloved children's book, Dr. Seuss tells the story of Sam-I-Am and his relentless efforts to persuade an unnamed character, often referred to as The Grump, to try green eggs and ham.
Despite initial strong resistance and repeated refusals, Sam-I-Am's persistence eventually pays off when The Grump agrees to taste the dish and discovers he likes it.
The story explores themes of persistence, trying new things, and the importance of experience in forming preferences.
Written as a result of a bet between Dr. Seuss and his publisher to create a book using only 50 different words, 'Green Eggs and Ham' has become a timeless classic in children's literature.
