This is SHEL SILVERSTEIN'S FIRST COLLECTION OF POEMS. Shel Silverstein was a tour de force, a creative genius who not only wrote phenomenal poetry and sold more than 20 million copies of his books, he also received two GRAMMY AWARDS, a GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATION, and an ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATION. But Shel wanted to start out as a cartoonist, tracing the works of Al Capp at age 7.

His cartoons found wider appeal and Shel found his voice through stories, poetry, and music. This extremely collectible, lovely first printing
