Green Eggs and Ham was first published on 12 August 1960.

Random House publisher Bennett Cerf supposedly bet 56-year-old Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) that he could not write a book with a vocabulary limited to 50 words.

The book was an immediate success, and has gone on to sell more than 8 million copies, making it the 4th best-selling hardcover children’s book in English.
