You'll meet a boy who turns into a TV set, and a girl who eats a whale. The Unicorn and the Bloath live there, and so does Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout who will not take the garbage out. It is a place where you wash your shadow and plant diamond gardens, a place where shoes fly, sisters are auctioned off, and crocodiles go to the dentist.Shel Silverstein's masterful collection of poems and drawings is at once outrageously funny and profound. This special edition has twelve extra poems that did not appear in the original collection.

"In my developmental years, I loved Shel Silverstein’s literary work, and as an English Language Arts (ELA) teacher, I greatly appreciated it, as it was an excellent classroom resource for teaching poetry."
Elizabeth G. Haydon
"Children and adults can enjoy these ageless, humorous poems and iconic illustrations. My fifth grade teacher borrowed my copy and was so enchanted, she bought one for our classroom. We had fun reading, memorizing, and reciting them all. Though none of us could memorize more than the tongue-twisting title of "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout (Would Not Take the Garbage Out).""
