Reading this with your child
This 1974 collection by Shel Silverstein offers poems filled with wordplay, surprise, and absurdity. Since these are longer works of poetry, it's best to choose a few to read aloud rather than trying to get through the whole thing in one sitting.
Poetry, activities, and longer fiction. Check the parent notes before choosing these for a younger child.
