Shel Silverstein's iconic collection of poetry and illustrations that has delighted generations of readers. This beloved book transforms poetry into a playground of imagination, where the absurd meets the profound, and children and adults alike can explore the magical world of Silverstein's creativity. Filled with whimsical, funny, and sometimes poignant poems accompanied by the author's distinctive drawings, the book celebrates the power of imagination, the joy of wordplay, and the unique perspective of childhood.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Silverstein understood something fundamental about children (and adults): that humor, creativity, and deep emotion can coexist in the same moment. These poems are not just for children, but for anyone who remembers the wonder and weirdness of childhood, and who appreciates the magic of language.
