    Some pages were folded or bent, the book cover itself was also ripped along the spine of the cover. The value at $5 is fairly decent for this type of book. I had to give the book a good wipe down as it was filthy, but that's to be expected. Other than that, great book!

    Great for new readers.

    Clever poems that are relatively quick to read and words are appropriate for new readers. Kids feel a sense of accomplishment when they get the humor and can read many poems in a sitting. Unlike with a chapter book which can sometimes be intimidating or just take too long.

    light in the attic

    I was upset when I got this. I did not realize it did not have the original cover on it. That was part of the charm. WHile it might have been my oversight by reading carefully (I had no idea what no dust meant) I was not pleased with the condition of this book. The book is the book. Content is great.

  • Compelling to the young and we who are older!

    My third graders always love these, and other Shel Silverstein works! Now, I have this to send to my French granddaughters who will love them too!

  • Wonderful

    Love the ryming and the cleaness of the book. My favorite author since the Giving Tree. The Author was not a role model but his books are wonderful.
