Everything on It, by Shel Silverstein

Everything on It, by Shel Silverstein, 194 pages

As a child, I cannot remember for the life of me going to the library and not checking out a book by Shel Silverstein.  So when I discovered that he had written a newish one, I could hardly pass it up, even if that newish one came out in 2011.  Everything on It is just how I remember Silverstein's writing to be and more.  When I was a child, I enjoyed the poems and the drawings, but only at face value.  As a technical adult, I still enjoy the poetry and drawing for the face value, but I can see kinda into the deeper meaning of them, which may mean that my high school English teachers were right about deeper meaning in poetry, but I'll never let them know it.
