Synopsis
Irreverent, hilarious and wildly popular, Silverstein's collection of verse is hard to put down. His black pen drawings are an integral part of the poems, which range from funny and gross to introspective or tender. Silverstein is a master at tickling the funny bone, and his book is definitely not just for kids! Shel Silverstein's masterful collection of poems and drawings is at once profound and outrageously funny.
