I read this book with my kids 20 years ago and am reading it with my grandchildren now. Still funny! My original copy was falling apart. Thank you for helping me create memories.

Silverstein is true GOLD for fun entertainment! Just sit back and enjoy his quirky poetry.This brought back pleasant memories for our daughter and was a total hit for a holiday gift. When she opened the present, and I had the book's front cover flap marking the poem she had chosen to recite in a school performance, she literally started crying from joyful memories!

My 34 year old disabled son has started to enjoy books on his CD player. When I received this order, I was disappointed to see a hard covered book. I thought I made a mistake in ordering but found the CD in the inside cover. The book is filled with short stories and poems. I can put them on his communicator for him to listen to during the day. Thank you, Shel Silverstein. I'll be looking out for more of your books for my son.

Brings back my childhood.

I love that I was able to introduce my daughter to one of my favorite books to read as a child. Now we read it together and the quality of the book and color of the cover has inspired her to collect more to add to her library.

Reading to preschoolers

My granddaughter loves everything by this author but this one by far her favorite.

The stories in this book had me in stitches when I was in grade school and has had the same hold over me three decades later. The drawings match the storytelling so well. I read a few, laugh to myself, let it sink in, and revisit it again when needing to feel light and inspired.

Ótima leitura pra todas as idades

The cover needed a little cleaning but solid.

Silverstein aveva tanti talenti. Questo libro è un esempio della sua capacita di scrivere poesia per bambini e adulti. Era un genio.

It's a beautiful book. Came slightly worn but it's something my entire family has read by now.
