Green Eggs and Ham is a much-loved classic by Dr. Seuss, which is not only fun to read but also raises important questions about the relationship between beliefs and experiences. Sam-I-Am spends the entire book offering green eggs and ham to the narrator, who adamantly refuses to try the delicacy because he does not like Sam-I-Am. Sam-I-Am offers to serve the dish in a number of different locations with a number of different partners. However, his persistence does not succeed until the very end, when the narrator finally caves in and tries it, only to find he loves it, and will eat it anywhere and with anyone. He also overcomes his dislike for Sam-I-Am. Helen Palmer Geisel died in 1967. Theodor Geisel married Audrey Stone Diamond in 1968. Theodor Seuss Geisel died 24 September 1991.

Sam-I-Am offers a man a plate of green eggs and ham. However, he tells Sam that he hates this food. Throughout the story, Sam further asks him to eat this food in various locations (house, box, car, tree, train, dark, rain, boat) and with various animals (mouse, fox, goat), but is still rebuffed. Finally, Sam-I-Am offers the man to try them, and he tastes the colorful delicacy in hopes Sam-I-Am will leave him alone. When the man tries the dish, he happily declares that the dish is quite tasty. A secret story, an unsolved mystery, a new beginning — and spies!

It's a metaphor for where a man ... or woman ... or thing called Sam ... draws the line. Sam-I-Am badgers his friend Guy-Am-I (who's originally unnamed) to eat a dish of green eggs and ham. However, Guy-Am-I refuses and angrily says he hates the food while furiously saying, "I do not like green eggs and ham! I do not like them Sam-I-Am!" He continues to repeat similar responses all throughout the story as Sam repeatedly follows him. While Guy is followed by Sam-I-am, Sam continuously asks if he would eat them in or on various different environments and locations (house, box, car, tree, train, dark, rain, and boat) and with various animals (mouse, fox, and goat), but Guy still angrily refuses, regardless to the circumstances by saying, "I do not like them here (this place) or there (the other place). I do not like them anywhere." Finally, in exasperation, Guy reluctantly samples the dish just to get Sam to "let him be". When he finds that he actually likes the dish after all, he announces that he would eat them in all of the places and with all of the animals mentioned earlier. The story ends with Guy (who has eaten the entire dish) and Sam becoming friends, with Guy happily saying, "I do so like green eggs and ham. Thank you. Thank you, Sam-I-Am."

The vocabulary of the text consists of just 50 words [2] and was the result of a bet between Seuss and Bennett Cerf, Dr. Seuss's publisher, [2] [3] [4] that Seuss (after completing The Cat in the Hat using 236 words) [5] could not complete an entire book without exceeding that limit. The 50 words are a, am, and, anywhere, are, be, boat, box, car, could, dark, do, eat, eggs, fox, goat, good, green, ham, here, house, I, if, in, let, like, may, me, mouse, not, on, or, rain, Sam, say, see, so, thank, that, the, them, there, they, train, tree, try, will, with, would, and you. Anywhere is the only word used that has more than one syllable.
