喜歡綠色的蛋和火腿嗎?如果不喜歡,那麼我們頑固又熱情的Sam-I-am先生可是要追著你上山下海,無論如何也要請你嚐一口看看!瞧另一位可憐的角色吧,他堅決地說:「我不喜歡綠色的蛋和火腿!」結果呢,Sam-I-am徹底無視他一而再、再而三,客氣或者堅定無禮的拒絕,拖著他到各種瘋狂又危險的地方──房子裡、老鼠旁邊、盒子裡、跟狐狸一起、樹梢頭、火車車頂……。討厭花椰菜或綠色蔬菜的大小讀者,此時一定十分同情這位先生!這位先生最後,終於出於無奈嚐了一口……綠色的蛋口感究竟如何?讀者能想像這麼豐富的故事,僅僅用了50個單字!
幽默古怪的韻詩,是Dr.Seuss一貫的風格,但在這本” Green Eggs and Ham”中,不僅可以鍛鍊舌頭的肌耐力,每當饒舌的Sam-I-am提出一個請求,另一位角色雖無奈但也要不厭其煩地重複拒絕一遍,這時帶著小朋友共讀的大朋友,也可以趁機來個禮節的文法機會教育:瞧瞧Sam-I-am雖然強力推銷,但還是用客氣的語氣請求;而另一位先生,有時客氣,有時也顧不得禮貌,用簡單句狠狠地拒絕!跟著書上的句子與所附的有聲CD,一起運動您的舌頭、學文法!甚至,您也會在一試之下,深深愛上花椰菜!
Dr. Seuss’s classic Beginner Book starring Sam-I-Am is now part of a book and audio CD package, with word-for-word storytelling by Jason Alexander.
Sam-I-Am is persistent in his hope of convincing the nameless skeptic that green eggs and ham are a delicacy to be savored everywhere and in every way. He tries all manners of presentation--in a house, with a mouse, in a box, with a fox, on a boat, with a goat. In this most famous of cumulative rhyming tales, the list of places to enjoy green eggs and ham, and friends to enjoy them with, gets longer and longer. When the doubter finally does eat the green eggs and ham, he loves them, making this book a perfect pick for picky eaters. Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meanings.
