Sam-I-Am wants to take his grumpy friend Walter on a picnic with green eggs and ham.  Walter is not a fan of the outdoors, and it is hard to get him started.  As they look for the perfect picnic spot, they encounter steep slopes, stinging bugs,  blocking rivers, thunderstorms, and a cave.  Will they ever find the perfect picnic spot?

Kochalka includes all the fun of the green eggs and ham characters in this graphic novel.  He uses his own graphic illustration style instead of Dr. Seuss' signature style, and it doesn't rhyme.  It is a fun bridge for kids transitioning into chapter books.
