Arguably the author’s most popular book ever written, “Green Eggs and Ham” sits atop the list of top-selling Dr. Seuss books of all-time.
The tale of Sam-I-Am trying to convince the unnamed character to try a plate of what should be repulsive green eggs and ham remains a timeless classic for all ages.
The 1960 book has received such universal acclaim that it was eventually adapted for television with 1973’s “Dr. Seuss on the Loose” and most recently, a Netflix adaptation of the same name, starring Michael Douglas, Adam DeVine and Keegan-Michael Key.
As of 2015, the book has sold 17.5 million copies, per the New York Daily News.
