Overview 

     

     This book consists of nothing but rhymes and poems. It is a fun, silly book that most children can relate to. Shel Silverstein wrote and illustrated this iconic book that children love! This book is best taught in a 3rd-5th grade setting. I would use this book to teach poetry and the different components it involves. I would use this book in a 4th grade setting.
