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.

Silverstein has a lot of fans. I'm not one of them. I like some of the poems okay, but most leave me indifferent. And also, the author himself has always seemed slightly creepy to me. My kids, on the other hand, have enjoyed his poetry collections enormously. Maybe I just came to him too late.
