This wonderful rhyming picture book 📖 is about Sam I Am's attempt to convince the narrator to try green eggs and ham. Offering the narrator different locations and dining partners to try the delicacy. A wonderful NF/RA, repetitive story of trying something new hesitantly that may look or sound different but finding the new thing to be great.
