Summary: This is a collection of pomes by Shel Silverstein, all compiled into one book. His poems are humorous and random. This book is great for children and gives them a more fun outlook on poetry with the drawings to go along with the funny poems.
Extension Activity: Like Shel Silverstein, I would have the kids write a short poem about whatever they would like, and then incorporate a picture into the text to make the poem more fun and illustrated.
