About this book

Dr. Seuss’s iconic, original dynamic duo is back—and this time, Sam-I-Am is going to show his grumpy pal the world beyond green eggs and ham in their own chapter book graphic novel!

Sam-I-Am's grumpy best pal Walter is missing out on the great big world but Sam-I-Am is determined to make sure he doesn't miss a thing! After all, that's what best friends are for.
 
Walter doesn't know what the big deal is—sure, it might be nice to have a green eggs and ham picnic on a hike, but doesn't Sam-I-Am know about all of the bugs? And the flowers that make you sneeze? Or the rivers that block your way? No, Walter is not a fan of the outdoors, he certainly is not. And nothing Sam-I-Am will do or say will change his mind. Too bad for Walter, Sam-I-Am is always up for a challenge!
 
With brand-new illustrations and easy-to-follow paneled storytelling, this graphic novel is an excellent bridge for kids transitioning to chapter books—a must-have for young readers and Dr. Seuss fans alike.
