یه زرافه و نصفی , چراغ زیر شیروانی, غول دریای , جایی که پیاده رو تموم میشه و کلا تمام کتاب های شل سیلور استاین با اینکه همیشه به عنوان شعر های کودک معرفی میشه ! ولی به نظر من برای بزرگسال هم معنی های خاص خودش رو داره !

I read this book to my 3-year-old twin brother and sister. It had my little brother laughing, and my little sister ending the rhymes for me. It was amazing! She was THREE and choosing the end to Shel Silverstein's rhymes. This book gets kids laughing and motivated to listen for rhymes. I've used this book in pre-K through grade 2, and all of them have loved it. Definitely recommended!

I read this book to a class of fifth graders for a volunteer program I'm a part of. I was initially unsure whether this book was age appropiate, but they loved it. The pattern of the book lends itself to read-aloud and the kids really enjoyed how each section builds upon the previous and to see who could read it the fastest. Quite a bit of fun!

This is a very silly book, the kind that delights children with its silliness. I admit to laughing myself. The rhythmic, repetitive, building nature also makes it fun and easy to follow. I was not familiar with this Shel Silverstein book in my own childhood, though I loved his books then; I am glad to have found it to read to my daughter.

We liked the overall silliness of this rhyming and repetition book as the giraffe gets more and more absurd. My husband thinks it goes on a little bit too long, but my 2-year-old is fascinated to the end.

Another one of my daughter's books, but we both love this poem - used to be a favourite bedtime story (again, again, Daddy!), and is still a classic in our house.

I love to read this one to the children at my kids' school! They love repeating along with me. A fun read, although different than Silversteins others.

This was the Shel-Silverstein book my first-graders really got. It's got fun rhymes and a recursive story arc that youngsters can really pick up on.

My daughter (6) and I love the tongue twisting laughs this book has to offer. She can now read it to me...

A really cute book--the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because you get tired of reading it after awhile.

Fun book that teaches you don't need all that. I love that life is great with what you've got.
