Green Eggs and Ham is one of Dr. Seuss' many classic books for children. It tells the story of Sam-I-Am, who implores his friend to eat a plate of green eggs and ham in nearly a half dozen places. However, his friend doesn't want to eat green eggs and ham, saying “I would not like them here or there! I would not like them anywhere!”
When it was released, and to this day, Green Eggs and Ham received positive reviews. Common Sense Media, for example, loved the book. In their review, they wrote that "In this oddball story, Dr. Seuss brought Sam-I-Am's disgusted opponent to life with many funny poses signifying refusal." Not only that, Green Eggs and Ham has sold countless copies. In fact, the book has sold over 8 million copies since its release in August of 1960.
