Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss*

A classic!
Sam tries to convince another character to eat green eggs and ham.  The other character refuses, claiming he does not like green eggs and ham.  Sam then changes the location and the company numerous times to make the platter more appealing.
A great book for beginning readers.
*Highly recommend.
We own this book.
Guided Reading Level: J (1st/2nd grade)
Grade Level Equivalent: 2.2
Teaching idea:  When I taught third grade, one of my teammates came up with the idea of having the students read aloud this book and change the words into contractions.  When it was the child's turn to read, they had to read aloud the page, changing words into the correct contractions.  If they made an error, we started all over again!
