Such fun for all! ( )

Silverstein is at it again with his poetry that takes even the most embarrassing moments and turns them into humor. Inside, you will meet people who own or do things very differently than you or I would. It turns the most straightforwardly embarrassing act into something we can all lighten up and laugh about. ( )

Fun collection of poems. Sometimes just nonsense and other times laugh out loud funny. ( )

Shel Silverstein is that rare adult who can still think like a child. He has continued to polish his own brand of humorous verse -- whimsical, inventive, with catchy rhythms and, as X. J. Kennedy says, "a streak of the wierd." It's a distinctive kind of verse that appeals to most ages, and he illustrates it with bold and equally distinctive line drawings.

First words
I tripped on my shoelace
And I fell up—

Gardener
We gave you a chance
To water the plants
We didn't mean that way—
Now zip up your pants.
