My preschooler's absolute FAVORITE audio book!

Our whole family has been delighted by this short little audio book. The music and sound effects are perfect - not too sparse, not over the top - and listening to the narration, you will be convinced there are two different actors reading. We most often listen to children's audio books in the car, so there's something of a captive audience. With some of those books, I feel bad subjecting adults and older children to the rendition. Not this one! Occupants of all ages get a chuckle out of this reading of Green Eggs and Ham. Highly recommended.

Loved it!

My kids normally only like it when I read this book to them. They absolutely loved this version! They thought I was the only one to make a "gurgling" voice when he is under water and we're very pleasantly surprised to hear someone else do it. Perfect substitute to have them flip through the book while it is read to them by a very talented actor.

Too Short, I Am Even for Green Eggs and Ham

It's Dr. Seuss...so, from a quality perspective for a kid's books, it doesn't really get any better. The giant problem is that its FIVE minutes long...that's it...just five measly minutes of entertaining kids....five minutes for one entire credit??? This should be bundled with a collection of Dr. Seuss books. Audible already does this with some other children's books, including the Ramona series and the Magic Tree House series.

Great Story

Brings back old memories of when my teachers used to read this in the classroom. Performance by the reader was excellent. Good classic easy to follow.

Still a favorite classic

Grew up hearing this and my sons and now my grandkids love it! It’s a fun read and a giggle to listen to as well!
