This is a collection of poetry by Shel Silverstein and a lot of it is very silly and funny. Great for children as there is a lot of fantasy and he deals with a lot of subjects that children talk about so it’s definitely geared towards them. Some of my favourite poems from this collection were “The Unicorn”, “My Beard” and “If I had a Brontosaurus”.

I try to read poetry every once in a while, but I have a hard time with it sometimes. Since I work with very young children I just always expect things to rhyme and when they don’t it throws me for a bit of a loop. So I have to concentrate on it very hard to really enjoy it.

I would definitely recommend Shel Silverstein to anyone though as he sure does know how to entertain.
