<p> <i>A spider lives inside my head<br> Who weaves a strange and wondrous web<br> Of silken threads and silver strings<br> To catch all sorts of flying things,<br> Like crumbs of thought and bits of smiles<br> And specks of dried-up tears,<br> And dust of dreams that catch and cling<br> For years and years and years . . .</i> </p> <p> Have you ever read a book with everything on it? Well, here it is, an amazing collection of never-before-published poems and drawings from the creator of <i>Where the Sidewalk Ends</i>, <i>A Light in the Attic</i>, and <i>Falling Up</i>. You will say Hi-ho for the toilet troll, get tongue-tied with Stick-a-Tongue-Out-Sid, play a highly unusual horn, and experience the joys of growing down. </p> <p> What's that? You have a case of the Lovetobutcants? Impossible! Just come on in and let the magic of Shel Silverstein bend your brain and open your heart. </p>
