When Sam-I-am persits 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!With
his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and
riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and
helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the
wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked among the UK''s top
ten favourite children''s authors, Seuss is firmly established as a
global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold
worldwide.As the first step in a major rebrand programme,
HarperCollins is relaunching 17 of Dr. Seuss''s best-selling books,
including such perennial favourites as The Cat in the Hat, Green
Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. In response to consumer demand, the
bright new cover designs incorporate much needed guidance on
reading levels, with the standard paperbacks divided into three
reading strands – Blue Back Books for parents to share with young
children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their
own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy.
Green Eggs and Ham belongs to the Green Back Book range.
