Dr. Seuss's much-loved classic, Green Eggs and Ham, is now available for the first time in picture book and (the previously published) CD format -- with CD read by Adrian Edmondson. 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! Adrian Edmondson reads a crazy classic with wild music and mad sound effects! This is a wonderful addition to the Dr. Seuss shelves.
喜歡綠色的蛋和火腿嗎？如果不喜歡，那么我們頑固又熱情的Sam-I-am先生可是要追著你上山下海，無論如何也要請你嘗一口看看！瞧另一位可憐的角色吧，他堅決地說：「我不喜歡綠色的蛋和火腿！」結果呢，Sam-I-am徹底無視他一而再、再而三，客氣或者堅定無禮的拒絕，拖著他到各種瘋狂又危險的地方──房子里、老鼠旁邊、盒子里、跟狐貍一起、樹梢頭、火車車頂……。討厭花椰菜或綠色蔬菜的大小讀者，此時一定十分同情這位先生！這位先生最后，終于出于無奈嘗了一口……綠色的蛋口感究竟如何？這么豐富的故事，僅僅用了50個單字！

幽默古怪的韻詩，是Dr.Seuss一貫的風格，但在這本” Green Eggs and Ham”中，不僅可以鍛煉舌頭的肌耐力，每當饒舌的Sam-I-am提出一個請求，另一位角色雖無奈但也要不厭其煩地重復拒絕一遍，這時帶著小朋友共讀的大朋友，也可以趁機來個禮節的文法機會教育：瞧瞧Sam-I-am雖然強力推銷，但還是用客氣的語氣請求；而另一位先生，有時客氣，有時也顧不得禮貌，用簡單句狠狠地拒絕！跟著書上的句子，一起運動您的舌頭、學文法！甚至，您也會在一試之下，深深愛上花椰菜！

As a certified elementary school teacher and practicing preschool teacher (3-year-olds), I highly recommend this book! There isn't a day when I don't hear "Ms. Molly, read 'Sam-I-Am!'" My poor copy of "Green Eggs and Ham" is tattered, torn, missing pages and is in the process of losing its cover! When I read it, the children follow along and are able to recall the rhyming words when I intentionally skip them (a skill which usually surfaces at a later age.) When we have free time in the classroom, there is a mad dash to the bookshelf to fetch "Green Eggs and Ham." I sit out of sight while the children quietly sit down with "Green Eggs and Ham" and watch them turn the pages and "read" the story. They know what lines belong to which page by "reading" the pictures. This is one of the earliest and most positive signs of reading readiness. Of course the children aren't "reading" the words, but they are becoming aware of letters as symbols for sounds. I often hear them mimicking my many interpretations of the book (some of which get quite enthusiastic!) and other children gather round the "reader" to hear the story, sometimes helping out! The benefits they are reaping from this story alone marks the beginning of an enjoyable journey through the many facets of language development (reading, comprehension, phonics, rhyming, speaking, listening, and interpretation.) Not only is the book full of fun phrases, fantasic illustrations, lively characters and poignant messages, but also is a great tool for learning about the initial processes of reading and recognizing written language. In later years, "Green Eggs and Ham" and other books as endearing (whether the children will realize it or not) may lead to a love of books and reading which may help them succeed in school. I have no doubt that my students will forget who "Ms. Molly" is in their teenage years and beyond, but they will ALWAYS hold in their hea! rts a special memory that is "Green Eggs and Ham."
