When publisher Bennett Cerf challenged Dr. Seuss to write a book for beginning readers with 50 words or less, Dr. Seuss wrote
Green Eggs and Ham. The constant repetition in this book appeals to both small children and children just beginning to read on their own. Sam-I-am is relentless in trying to convince one of Dr. Seuss' shaggy creatures to try green eggs and ham. Dr. Seuss uses rhyming and humor to point out the importance of not judging something before you've tried it.
