A collection of humorous poems and drawings.

A collection of humorous poetry illustrated with the author's own drawings. Shel Silverstein is a genius of reaching children with silly words and simple pen-and-ink illustrations. In these poems a boy turns into a television, a girl eats a whale, crocodiles go to the dentist, shadows get washed and diamond gardens are planted. All these crazy scenarios make these poems utterly delightful to read.
