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.
喜欢绿色的蛋和火腿吗？如果不喜欢，那么我们顽固又热情的Sam-I-am先生可是要追着你上山下海，无论如何也要请你尝一口看看！瞧另一位可怜的角色吧，他坚决地说：「我不喜欢绿色的蛋和火腿！」结果呢，Sam-I-am彻底无视他一而再、再而三，客气或者坚定无礼的拒绝，拖着他到各种疯狂又危险的地方──房子里、老鼠旁边、盒子里、跟狐狸一起、树梢头、火车车顶……。讨厌花椰菜或绿色蔬菜的大小读者，此时一定十分同情这位先生！这位先生最后，终于出于无奈尝了一口……绿色的蛋口感究竟如何？这么丰富的故事，仅仅用了50个单字！

幽默古怪的韵诗，是Dr.Seuss一贯的风格，但在这本” Green Eggs and Ham”中，不仅可以锻炼舌头的肌耐力，每当饶舌的Sam-I-am提出一个请求，另一位角色虽无奈但也要不厌其烦地重复拒绝一遍，这时带着小朋友共读的大朋友，也可以趁机来个礼节的文法机会教育：瞧瞧Sam-I-am虽然强力推销，但还是用客气的语气请求；而另一位先生，有时客气，有时也顾不得礼貌，用简单句狠狠地拒绝！跟著书上的句子，一起运动您的舌头、学文法！甚至，您也会在一试之下，深深爱上花椰菜！

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."
