It is a collection of poems even the adults will enjoy and has something for all of us to learn and laugh about. When I started reading the whole poetry genre, I wasn't quite sure I'd like it. But when I read the first few poems in this book, I was taken back to my childhood days and the carefree life of a kid! The poems bring back a lot of memories and the naughty pranks that we have all gone through. I wish I read this book when I was a child. My 3-year old daughter enjoyed quite a few of the poems and all the drawings cracked her up totally. Some of her favorite poems include "Jimmy jet and his TV set", "Warning", "Ourchestra", "Snowman" and "Hug-o-War". There are all kinds of poems, some of them are very reassuring, some are just plain silly and some send a message across in a very nice way. To put it short, this is a perfect package for every age, sure to lift you up even on the gloomiest of days! I loved reading every single poem and can't wait to read it with my daughter when she grows up. If you have kids, take this opportunity to get them this book and read-along, rest assured the reading session will turn into a total gigglefest. There is no limit to a child's imagination and Shel's drawings and poems takes them to the perfect place where the sidewalk ends and the street begins. This is one to buy for sure and savor for sure! Don't miss it!
