What is Every Thing On It about?

A wonderfully strange collection of poems and drawings filled with talking creatures, curious characters and wonderfully twisted ideas. Meet a toilet troll, a tongue-tied troublemaker and a spider spinning a web inside someone’s head. Discover what happens when you grow down instead of up, play an unusual horn and catch thoughts, smiles and dreams. With clever wordplay, surprising twists and plenty of silliness, Shel Silverstein invites readers to look at the world from unexpected angles and enjoy the magic of imagination.
