http://www.penpalsandpicturebooks.com/2012/02/shel-silverstein.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2012. I like to think self reflection is healthy. Why are we who we are? What makes you, you? What makes me, me? Why do I detest football yet obsessively collect books? When it was published last year. and, it's fantastic! I'll share a few images. A favorite of mine from each of his poetry books, and several from the new one. You'll find 'The Land of Happy' in, Where the Sidewalk Ends. Crowded Tub' is from A Light in the Attic. His stuff makes me smile. Isn't this poem so telling.

I must be sick- heat stroke maybe! Well I just happen to have a cute right here! It's called A Possum's Tail. Not only rhyming, but a punny title! I couldn't be happier!
