Anyone who has a little brother (or sister) will immediately recognise Sam-I-Am's pestering ways and know that until you give in the torment never ends! I really enjoyed the rhyming and repetitive nature of the storyline. It would make it easy to read, yet feel like you'd achieved something great (considering how long the book is) if you were a child. I enjoyed it as an adult.
Yet, no amount of pestering would ever get me to try green eggs and ham, particularly after they'd been waved under the funnel of a steam train and dipped in the ocean. Yuck! The pictures are interesting, but it's the words that make the book. They stay in your head like a song-and-dance act, jiggling around all happy and bright. That's the best thing words can ever do.
