Les Oeufs Verts au Jambon: The French Edition of Green Eggs and Ham » (French-language Edition)

It s difficult to imagine the children s book landscape without Dr. Seuss, who is, almost half a century after The Cat in the Hat, the best-recognized children s book writer in the country. But until Dr. Seuss -- a.k.a. Theodor Seuss Geisel -- reinvented the genre with his colorful and exuberant Sneetches, Grinches, Zaxes, and Zooks, children s books were often little more than literal-minded lessons and cautionary tales intended to transform young readers into productive citizens.

When parents, teachers and young readers need a beginner book, they turn to Dr. Seuss more than any other author. His titles are timeless favorites that transcend countries, generations and languages. So what better book to help a youngster learn to read in French than a French edition of his widely popular Green Eggs and Ham?
Combining Dr. Seuss' original illustrations with an all new translation, Les Oeufs Verts au Jambon offers a true-to-the-author presentation of the slyly engaging story that has delighted readers since it was first published in 1960.
There is Sam-I-am with his sure-to-please "nouveau cuisine." What could be more French indeed? With its simple sentence structure and basic vocabulary, Les Oeufs Verts au Jambon is a perfect book for young children who are learning to read French.
