Pros: Creative, fun, whimsical poems, word play
Cons: Really nothing
Summary: There is no more Shel Silverstein to write words like these, there is no one else to talk of butts tattooed with bees, we miss his crazy pictures, and all his silly poems, and we never hear new mumble-grumble songs. Don’t take this book away, not ...

Pros: humorous, light, easy to read for all ages
Cons: A few not-so-great poems
Summary: This is a "children's" book that defies age. It's a great bunch of poems to read to children, but it's also enjoyable for adults, too. The poems are light, easy to read, and very humorous, with often with a good message buried (or blatant) in...
