Some of the poems are very simplistic (only four lines). Some are a bad influence (kids get killed on railroad tracks; calling dishes an awful boring chore, suggesting you drop one on the floor; suggesting you tell your parents you’ll…

As a kid I loved these books. They are still pretty good now, but they lack the wonder and awe that they provided when I was younger. When Silverstein is firing on all cylinders, these poems are amazing. Some of them just have the most…

Another great book by Silverstein! The sort of work for children that adults can enjoy as well. My favorites were "How many, how much*", "Put something in*", "Ations*", "tryin' on clothes", "Whatif", and "The little boy and the old man".…

This book is a great introduction children can have to poems. In Silverstein's book ther are poems that are great . I would reccommend this book to other children who are a little older. The humor may not be appropriate for very young…
