    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    I buy books from this seller all the time. The books are extremely affordable. Every once in a while there's an issue but more often than not, the outcome is positive. Packaging is just a thin sleeve with no bubble protection. This leaves the books open to damage in shipping. However, the seller ships for free. Book was actually in better condition than described - a nice surprise & greatly appreciated!! 👍 Thank you very much, seller!! I'll be back with another order!! 😀

    Great for new readers.

    Clever poems that are relatively quick to read and words are appropriate for new readers. Kids feel a sense of accomplishment when they get the humor and can read many poems in a sitting. Unlike with a chapter book which can sometimes be intimidating or just take too long.

    light in the attic

    I was upset when I got this. I did not realize it did not have the original cover on it. That was part of the charm. WHile it might have been my oversight by reading carefully (I had no idea what no dust meant) I was not pleased with the condition of this book. The book is the book. Content is great.

    Compelling to the young and we who are older!

    My third graders always love these, and other Shel Silverstein works! Now, I have this to send to my French granddaughters who will love them too!

    Wonderful

    Love the ryming and the cleaness of the book. My favorite author since the Giving Tree. The Author was not a role model but his books are wonderful.
