A spider lives inside my head Who weaves a strange and wondrous web Of silken threads and silver strings To catch all sorts of flying things, Like crumbs of thought and bits of smiles And specks of dried-up tears, And dust of dreams that catch and cling For years and years and years . . . Have you ever read a book with everything on it? Well, here it is, an amazing collection of never-before-published poems and drawings from the creator of Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, and Falling Up. You will say Hi-ho for the toilet troll, get tongue-tied with Stick-a-Tongue-Out-Sid, play a highly unusual horn, and experience the joys of growing down. What's that? You have a case of the Lovetobutcants? Impossible! Just come on in and let the magic of Shel Silverstein bend your brain and open your heart.

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!
I had forgotten what a wonderful mixed bag Shel Silverstein's poetry+drawings books are. Ironic, since what incited my rekindled interest in him was the discovery of his shockingly wide range of audience (Playboy and Children's Books, for instance). Yay, hooray.
Everything On It by Shel Silverstein showcases poems he wrote during his life but that he thought just didn't fit into any of the previous collections of poems published.Most children, parents and educators are very familiar with his works for children. What many may not realize is that Shel Silvers...
Not his best collection, but plenty of fun and whimsy to keep readers entertained.
