Reviews

Unforgettable characters and absurd little moments

"I loved this book as a kid, and coming back to it now, it still hits the same way. It's funny, weird, and quietly profound. The poems are packed with unforgettable characters and absurd little moments that somehow sneak in real thoughts about life. It’s perfect for reading a few poems at a time, especially at bedtime, and picking it back up whenever you want. The drawings are simple but absolutely perfect for the tone. This is one of those books that never really leaves you. You just keep returning to it."

Jds M. (5/5)

Clever and Very Funny

"My three boys all loved Shel Silverstein when there were young — his poetry is cleverly raucous and laugh-out-loud funny. Our favourite in this book was Backward Bill, and we all can recite it for my grandchildren (the third generation to love his work!)"

Nana T. (5/5)
