This book can truly be utilized for all grades. However, it is an excellent resource for fourth and fifth grades. The poems are not lengthy and still maintain simple verbiage.

I had every single poem in this book memorized as a child. I still have some of them memorized now. I will still sit down and read through all of Silverstein's books some evenings.
