Author/Illustrator: Shel Silverstein
Genre: Poetry
Grade level: K-4
This collection of poems combines cleverness and humor in each poem. The poems are diverse and include a diverse set of topics. The poems are each similar in style. They are short, funny, and witty.
The illustrations are black and white sketch-type drawings. They match the poems and are quite hilarious. They are similar to comic book art.
As in many poems, these are great examples of rhyme, rhythm, and alliteration. I would find it useful as way to spark in interest in poetry for children who think they don't like poetry or have no experience with poetry.
