"Chosen as a recommended read by our Guest Editor, Geraldine McCaughrean, April 2021"
This is a glorious collection of poems, wise and funny. Shel’s illustrations are part and parcel of his poems. I go back to them again and again, to remind myself of a joke or a picture or a smackerel of wisdom.
How many slams in an old screen door?
Depends how loud you shut it.
How many slices in a bread?
Depends how thin you cut it.
How much good inside a day?
Depends how good you live 'em.
How much love inside a friend?
Depends how much you give 'em.
