Silverstein, Shel. Every Thing on It: Poems and Drawings by Shel Silverstein. New York : Harper, 2011.
Plot: Published after the passing of the popular children's poet, the text consists of over one hundred previously unprinted work by Silverstein. Like his previous titles, poems play with the quirks, fears, games, thoughts, and lessons encountered during childhood. They also showcase Silverstein's classic humor through ink illustrations. A very funny title.

Personal Thoughts: Any fan of Where the Sidwalk Ends or A Light in the Attic should read the title. It maintains Silverstein's classic brand of humor and timelessness, offering a good introduction to poetry to young readers, as well.
