  <default_description>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 &quot;nouveau cuisine&quot;--in a house, with a mouse, in a box, with a fox, with a goat, on a boat--to no avail. Then finally, &lt;I&gt;finally&lt;/I&gt; 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 &lt;I&gt;Green Eggs and Ham&lt;/I&gt; the thousandth time, the climactic realization that green eggs and ham are &quot;so good, so good, you see&quot; 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. &lt;I&gt;(Ages 4 to 8)&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I was fortunate in my seventh year to have a baby brother, my only blood sibling, brought into the house.  Mom apologized when we picked up the very little, because premature, Fin Einar at Elgin's Sherman Hospital, worrying that I'd think him ugly.  He was, his head mishapen, his features raw and re...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63957093">more...</a>]]></body>

Both interpretations have merit and it would be easy to find supporting argu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51612355">more...</a>]]></body>
