| This timeless Dr. Seuss classic was first published in 1960, and has been delighting readers ever since. Sam-I-am is as persistent as a telemarketer, changing as many variables as possible in the hopes of convincing the nameless skeptic that green eggs and ham are a delicacy to be savored. He tries every manner of presentation with this "nouveau cuisine"--in a house, with a mouse, in a box, with a fox, with a goat, on a boat--to no avail. Then finally, finally the doubter caves under the tremendous pressure exerted by the tireless Sam-I-am. And guess what? Well, you probably know what happens, but even after reading Green Eggs and Ham the thousandth time, the climactic realization that green eggs and ham are "so good, so good, you see" is still a rush. As usual, kids will love Dr. Seuss's wacky rhymes and whimsical illustrations--and this time, they might even be so moved as to finally take a taste of their broccoli.

Wow, who knew?!!!.
Rating: 5
I am still reading this book, but I have to say that I think it's brilliant. It posits things that I really never would have thought about otherwise, and it is prompting me to read some of the suggested reading it lists inside. One word of caution though; you really need to be in an academic frame of mind to read it because at times it is not an easy read. Other than that, really terrific book!! I highly recommend it.

Another fine book by John Granger.
Rating: 5
I highly recommend Unlocking Harry Potter as well as other Books on this topic by John Granger. Granger shows the artistry in J. K. Rowling's books, enabling one to see patterns and symbols, and places the Harry Potter series in the light of current social ideas, particularly Postmodernism. This makes reading and re-reading the Harry Potter Books that much richer in meaning. John Granger speculates at the end on the possible outcome of Deathly Hallows, basing his thoughts on the basis of Snape being a double agent for the Order. Although I also hope that Snape is working for the good, some weight should have been given to the opposite viewpoint as well. There are some copy-editing errors in this book, but that does not overshadow its value. The section on Literary Alchemy is worth the cost alone, and made me want to read more on the topic. Serious readers of Harry Potter should definitely get this book.

Seriously for the serious reader and poor proof reading.
Rating: 4
For the most part,I loved the book What I did not like about it was the annoying proof reading issues - things like the word "hot" when "hit" was intended, or switching from calling JK Rowling, "Ms. Rowling" to "Mrs. Rowling" just to name a few. These occur regularly throughout the book, to the point where they start to grate on you.
Mr.Granger also has the annoying habbit of alternating the character names with some of his own nicknames. Calling Slughorn, "Sluggo" for example and Big Bad Wolf for Voldemort. If he would stick to these, it maybe wouldn't be quite as annoying, but he switches how he referrs to each character, several times.
It is definitely for the very serioius reader though or perhaps other writers. I think you have to have read the Books a few times to be the reader that will appreciate this book.
That being said, he does an excellent job of exploring the "keys" to the Potter series.

Perceptive Analysis Made Accessible.
Rating: 5
Having read John Granger's excellent previous Books including WHO KILLED ALBUS DUMBLEDORE? and LOOKING FOR GOD IN HARRY POTTER, the quality of UNLOCKING HARRY POTTER was no surprise. The erudite Mr. Granger has a great gift for presenting esoterica in accessible form: he makes alchemy and postmodernism downright transparent. Mr. Granger is well-attuned to J.K. Rowling's narrative patterns and shares his insights with infectious enthusiasm. This book will hold its relevance long after HP #7 is published.
Speaking as an experienced writer and critic of fantasy fiction, I highly recommend this book.

My mind is blown.
Rating: 5
My mind is blown. Having been out of college for about thirty years, I was still blissfully stuck in the world of archetypal criticism with no desire to be part of the deconstructionist school that dissects literature with a 20th century scalple, whether surgery is needed or not. This book caught me up in my literary education and showed me that the cultural wars I have been fighting for the last decade are part of a postmodernist revolution. I am not a philosopher or a theologian, I am (by training at least) a literary critic, and this book put the revisionist values of the 21st century into words I could understand. I don't know if the book will help me plan Harry Potter camp this year, but it has given me a better grasp of the society in which I live.

Take the diagnostic test beforehand.
Rating: 5
It's a good book. Offers pronounciation, definitions, synonyms, and antonyms, as well as good practice. Chances are there are at least some words you'll learn from the book, even if you do well on the diagnostic test but I still suggest that you take that test to see if you should get a higher level book.

Vocabulary Workshop--all levels.
Rating: 3
I have used this at almost all the middle school and high school levels. It is ok, but if a student is not great at memorizing, or is not already a great speller, this is not as helpful as some other books. It is a very typical, rote way to learn. Worldly Wise is organized and structured in a much better way. It is especially great for teaching spelling/definitions, etc. to dyslexics or children with other minor learning issues. I also think Worldly Wise does a better job at showing definitions, showing how words are used in sentences and paragraphs, and also at showing homonyms, etc. Vocab. Workshop is great as an extra tool.

Pirates Don't Change Diapers.

Excellent read aloud book. Illustrations are vibrant with great detailing for child to explore expressions and analyze actions. Text is engaging and encourages child to predict and anticipate.

Pirate fun.
Rating: 5
My five year old granddaughter found this story delightful. The word choice was fun for both her and me...and the illustrations are great.
This is a good companion story to the original one. Would highly recommend it for both girls and boys.

Good-We loved it.
Rating: 5
I got this book for my 6 year old daughter for her birthday. She had seen the book and wanted it. She loves this book. Its funny and the illistrations are great. Even my 2 year old has brought it for me to read.

Great multi-age picture book with story.
Rating: 5
It's a rare combination that entertains my 2 year old daughter and 5 year old son at the same time.
This book has an active enough story that my 2 year old will listen to more than one sentence per page, and the story is engaging enough that my 5 year old likes it.
They both laugh at my pirate voice, and love some of the lines, like "No sittin' on babies." (this still cracks my daughter up every time)
We have "How I became a pirate" too, but my daughter heard this one first, and it remains her fav.
The pictures are GREAT too. Gives them lots to look at.

Perfect book to read to your GrandChild!.
Rating: 5
We bought this for our Grandson, aged 4. What a joy to see his reaction to every word and picture! A wonderful read for a 4 year olds imagination!

Another classic Dr Seuss book.
Rating: 5
Although its not as great as The Cat in the Hat, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish is certainly one of my children's favorites, and they especially love trying to read some of the rhymes outloud. Certainly a great choice for a book for your young ones.

These fish become swans.
Rating: 5
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss gives young children an excellent way to start reading independently. The book helps children learn to count to eleven and it increases their vocabulary as you read it along with them the first few times. Young children just learning to read will be able to read this book as one of their first Books that they can read by themselves; and the cute illustrations will delight children and even adults everywhere.
The book's plot is not entirely deep--nor should it be for this exceptionally young, tender age group. The book helps kids to learn how to count to eleven and recognize the words for those numbers; it also uses pictures to introduce words for basic colors including red, blue, black, yellow and pink. Children also explore the concepts of old and new; fast and slow; high and low; thin and fat as well as here and there. Excellent! The book also introduces the telephone and how two people can communicate by phone. Your child will love that--they'll think that the phone is a toy!
The book is nicely bound and the strength of the hardcover binding makes the book tolerate the bending and occasional carelessness of a young child who is learning to read partly by using this book. Great!
I highly recommend One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish for younger kids who are just learning to read. This book will increase their vocabulary by introducing words, comparisons and pictures. The child also gets a heightened awareness of the world around them; and the adorable illustrations will delight children everywhere.
Great job, Dr. Seuss!

Five stars for One Fish.
Rating: 5
This is one of our favorite Seuss creations, along with Fox In Socks. My son lvoes to finish every sentence for us. We love this book and the funny creatures in it! ("From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!"

Fish and Things.
Rating: 4
You will have fun reading this tongue twister with your child. With funny made up animals (things) and verse that can twist the tongue of the most experienced reader.
What is the story about? Nothing really, just a bunch of nonsense that makes Dr. Seuss as fun as ever

Green Eggs and Ham.
Rating: 5
This book is great for all ages. This book is great for children who are just learning to read and who need help with rhyming. The book is small enough that a child can hold it themselves and don't have to worry about harming the book or dropping it.

Green eggs and ham ??? In one word, how---absurd !!! SMILES.
Rating: 5
The children's book entitled Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss does a great job of teaching young kids to try new things while increasing their vocabulary. The illustrations are very nicely done with hybrid "things" replacing people. These "things" are part human and part "thing"--great concept to stimulate a child's imagination! The text is written in easy to understand words so that with a little help your child be able to read this book independently soon.
The book tells a cute story of how a smaller "thing" or, "person named Sam" follows a "grown up thing" or, "person who is not Sam" around, beseeching them to try some food they've never eaten before, namely green eggs and ham. Happily, the food turns out to be delicious in the end. While the basic moral of the story is not to be afraid of trying new things; the child learns a lot of vocabulary and comparisons at the same time. Great!
Specifically, children learn the concepts of "here," "there" and "anywhere;" "like" versus "do not like;" and modes of transportation including "car" and "train." Excellent!
The book is nicely bound and the strength of the hardcover binding makes the book tolerate the bending and occasional carelessness of a young child who is learning to read partly by using this book. Great!
I highly recommend Green Eggs and Ham for younger kids who are just learning to read. This book will increase their vocabulary by introducing words, comparisons and pictures. The child gets encouragement to try new things; and the adorable illustrations will delight children everywhere.
Great job, Dr. Seuss!

18 month old daughter loves it...screeeeams if I read a different book!.
Rating: 5
I just started reading this to my almost 18mo old girl. It gets very wordy and repetetive, and I thought she didn't like it because she kept wanting to skip over the pages that had over 5 lines of print, but she does really love it so much that if I put it down and pick up another book, she howls and throws a temper tantrum.
December 04, 2007.
Classic love.
Rating: 5
Whenever my children were not feeling well, I would bring out "Green Eggs and Ham" to read over and over and over... I was very ill and each of my 3 children took turns reading this same story to me. I hope this book lives on forever! Amazondotcom has the BEST deals on TOP quality items!

Title: Green Eggs and Ham .
Rating: 4
I would recommend this book because I think it is good. I think it is good because it has tongue twisters if you say it fast and I like tong twisters. My favorite character is Sam-I-am because he is funny and his name has part of my name. My favorite part is when the bigger guy that looks like Sam-I-am tries green eggs and ham. It is my favorite part because he is trying something new. Also when he tried green eggs and ham he liked it.
