New York: HarperCollins 1981

Sometimes it's worth while reviewing a classic. This marvelous collection of poems and drawings by Shel Silverstein holds appeal for children of all ages.

My favorite:

Shadow Race
Every time I've raced my shadow
When the sun was at my back,
It always ran ahead of me,
Always go the best of me.
But every time I've raced my shadow
When my face was toward the sun,
I won.
