I adored this book when I was a youngster and I am not ashamed to admit that I still enjoy it now 20 years later. This is one of the few childhood books that have physically stayed with me over the years,and I was delighted to be able to hand it down to my daughter.

Fantastic book for kids! So imaginative and creative. Easy read that children will find delightful!Shel Silverstein is always brilliant! His rhymes are fun and entertaining! Some of my all time favorites!! Such a great way to entertain children and get them interested in reading!
