This is SHEL SILVERSTEIN'S FIRST COLLECTION OF POEMS. Shel Silverstein was a tour de force, a creative genius who not only wrote phenomenal poetry and sold more than 20 million copies of his books, he also received two GRAMMY AWARDS, a GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATION, and an ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATION. But Shel wanted to start out as a cartoonist, tracing the works of Al Capp at age 7. Shel would first come to public attention as a cartoonist for Pacific Stars and Stripes; it was a compilation of these cartoons that led to his first book, Take Ten. His cartoons found wider appeal and Shel found his voice through stories, poetry, and music. This extremely collectible, lovely first printing
