Classic. Such a fun book to read and recite with your kids.

Our family LOVES these books by Shel Silverstein! Not only are they enjoyable for adults, but our kids can’t get enough of them. At 5yrs and 6yrs old, our girls read these poems out loud with little help and with a lot of enjoyment!

Just what I ordered

Amazing children's poetry book can't recommend this enough. I have purchased this book a few times and given them away over the years, felt like it was time to get myself another copy.

I got the three of these for my grandchildren for Christmas. These were books I read when I was little, my daughter has copies of them that she cherishes and because the grandkids weren’t careful with hers, I bought a full set for my grandbabies. His poems are classics for a reason!

This was bought as a Christmas gift. Granddaughter loves the book. Pricing and delivery were great.

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.

Es un clásico que debemos de tener

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.
