Shel Silverstein is a fantastic author.I love all his books.
in my opinion i loved it i thought it was great I highly recommend it for those poetry readers!this is my fav author!!!
I loved reading this book in Elementary School! The poems are easy to understand, yet so beautifully wonderful. The illustrations are also unique and interesting, perfect for the book. It is one-of-a-kind and a must read for everyone!
the illustrations are amazing is you have imagination if you don't you cant under stand
it was an ok book but the illustrains are horrible the auther could use some work on the peoms too but minus that my favorite is about the girl who wanted a pony
The illustration are in a different style, and I sort of agree with you on the people drawings, but overall I think the poems were pretty good. I respect your opinion fully, though.
i love these poems, and the illustrains ae good, and i love these poems!!!!!!
Me too! The illustrations are probably meant to be like that. I don't mind it
me neither, it is his style
totally his style, every book of his has those weird but awesome sketches!
Really? I thought the poet did a great job on the poems. And the illustrations aren't horrible, they're realistic and fun to look at. Also I don't know how you liked the poem about the girl who wanted a pony. That's just sad. But this is just my opinion.
i agree, they are fun
This book is filled with funny and silly poems! You should defienetely read this book! (:
