“Runny be quimble, Runny be nick.”

This book would be an excellent introduction for children to poetry as it‘s very fun for them to read and they love the pictures as well. I would use this in a whole class setting.

I have actually read this book with my third graders when I was placed there. The illustrations are goofy, but they make the kids laugh and the poetry is very fun for the kids.

Great posthumous collection of all of Silversteins best moments over his life and career

“If I had a hundred dollars, I‘d give it to you, to spend it on a great big bag of ice cream and an elephant too. “

This is a posthumous collection of Shel Silverstein‘s poems which mixes all of his funny moments along with meaningful and serious poems.

Fun story for children to have fun reading and play with language

“Runny Babbit went to the store, to buy dome sittle wood. But when he tried to pay, he couldn‘t cause he was feeling good.”
