The actual words in the book only say "green eggs and ham". And being the key word. The picture on the cover shows a green ham and 2 green eggs so yes the ham is green.

Ta. I didn't learn to read with Dr Seuss, as they weren't around in the UK when I learned to read. The earliest books I can remember reading were by Enid Blyton and Beatrix Potter, before I even went to school. (At my first school, the library monitors stopped me taking a certain book out unless I could prove that I could read it - which I did, gaining freedom of choice thereafter. Can't remember what the book was, but the extract I had to read concerned some people flying over Adrianople in an airship. I found it boring, but I had made a POINT....) Having no television helped, and probably even more having a mother who was at teacher training college , I suppose.

While one may not always use the illustration to justify an interpretation, in this case the author IS the illustrator. Suess definitely intended the ham to be green too!
