Ratings and reviews

oh the nostalgia.... classic rhyming goodness to satisfy your ears, some may stir up laughter or even bring you tears. some poems are short, and won't take you too long while others, may I suggest you d want your coffee strong! enjoy this book with loved ones or read it by yourself, i guaranteed it won't sit long or collect dust on the shelf.

My gramma (RIP) bought me this and one other book from Shel Silverstein brand new & she herself signed them both lol and dedicated them to me in 1998 when I was 10 years old. She told me she loved Shel Silverstein and that I needed to have them! She would laugh as she said this and I always thought it was so out of character for her to endorse such an author/media/genre/etc... I still have them and cherish them more so after growing up and losing her. Definitely would recommend to all just like!

EXCELLENT when I was a kid, now I'm 44, buy this book is what I did, now all I want is more... - Jason Bunn
