بند كفشم گير كرد و كله پا شدم
بعدش به بالا افتادم
بالاي پشت بوما
بالا،بالاي شهرها
بالاتر از نوك درختها
بالاي دشت ها و كوهها
همون جايي كه رنگها
قاطي ميشن با صداها
اين باعث شد كه گيج بره سرم
دور و برم رو كه ديدم
دلم يهو ريخت بهم
بعدش هم پايين آوردم

رحلة جميلة إلى عالم مليء بالشقاوة والبراءة
الأشعار والرسمات خرافية! ببساطة الكتاب أكثر من راااائع، أعجبني جداً
لا أنصح باستعارته، لكنني أنصح بشراءه،
وبشدة (:
I read it out loud to myself though I rarely do so
and enjoyed every second $:
Ps. Thanks Dr. VERY MUCH

anyone looking for a good laugh
I fell in love with the plays on words and how childlike the poems were. It didn't take a whole lot of thinking to interpret the poems, because it was all there, clearly stated in the poem.

I lived on these books as a child! Every parent, Aunt, Uncle, Grandparent needs to buy these books for the children in their lives, because they are great books that let children use thier imagination and have fun! And then you need to read them along with that child, because everyone can use a little laughter and fun in life.

I think at about fourth grade students start to read these poems and really enjoy them. There is also a great website, where Shel Silverstein reads these poems and the illustrations are animated. It is a great attention grabbing way to introduce students to the beauty and fun of wordplay through poetry.

We had Reading week and one day we were to read poems. I have read these books before but the girls hadn't. We had so much fun reading them together. We are reading a bit every day together. They are even having fun trying to memorize some. My favorite is Cynthia Stout

I have a boxed set of Where the Sidewalk Ends,A Light in the Attic and this, but I haven't read any of this one. I had read the others when I was a kid and went back to those instead of reading new ones out of this one. Some day I should pick this up for fun.

I made myself a snowball
As perfect as could be
I thought I'd keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first--it wet the bed.
What beautiful poems for children.

LOL! This is a hilarious poem book that takes life and makes it sound all funny! My favorite poems in this book are 'Stupid Pencil Maker' and 'Snowball'. I usually don't like poem books, unless they are really good, and i LOVED this one!

Silverstein just didn't stop. And this book was just as fun as his first couple. I fell in love with his book when I was a child. So it was nice to read this book and think about my childhood reading all his others.

I was so skeptical when it first came out because his first two collections were so beloved. Now, I love reading this one to kids--especially 'The Deadly Eye of Poogly Pie" and "Stupid Pencil Maker."

This is the only book I own by Shel Silverstein, and oh man do I wish I had more. He was a major part of my childhood, and I still reread his poems. They are wonderful.

I like this book because there are lots of rymes...

Well, if you read it I hope you like it..

Hilarious poems accompanied by Silverstein's distinctive pen-and-ink drawings.
Accessible poetry that kids (and immature adults) will love!

He is a gifted poet, and most of them rhyme, which I like :). These are good poems for adolescents. Not every poem is suitable for little kids.

""why can't you see i'm a kid", said the kid.
"Why try to make me like you?
Why are you hurt when I don't cuddle?
Why do you sigh when I splash through a puddle?
Why do you scream when I do what I did?
Im a kid.""
