In A Nutshell

This book isn't really about anything in parcticular. It is basically a book of lots of poems, but the poems are really funny and interesting, plus most of them have illustrations, also by Shel Silverstein.

Sierra's Take

Personally, I love poems, and especially this book of poems, but I know poems just aren't for everybody. But that's perfectly fine, everyone has their own preference of books. Some of my favourite poems from this book are: Falling Up, Snowball, Scale, Danny O'Dare and Allison Beals and Her 25 Eels. Of course, there are way more that I like, but if I listed all of them down, it would probably be pretty much the whole of this review. What I love about this book is that the poems do not have any fancy or complicated words, just simple ones, it is very funny, and the poems are not super long or involved, just the right length. And of course, I absolutely love the illustrations! It is a really good book, and if you like poems, I definitely think you should check it out. Even if you don't like poems, maybe this book might change your mind!
