Green Eggs and Ham written by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel), was first published on August 12, 1960, by Random House. It was created as part of a challenge to write a book using only 50 different words, which makes it one of the simplest yet most creative children’s books in terms of vocabulary. The book’s unique and repetitive rhyming scheme made it a favorite for early readers and educators. Green Eggs and Ham sold over 8 million copies worldwide and has been translated into several languages, demonstrating its broad appeal and enduring popularity. It is considered one of Dr. Seuss’s best-selling works. (Younger, 27)
