    Amazing packaging and great shipping. Item was just as described and definitely a great communicator and was easy to work with. Although the shoes didn't work out for my wife, the process of returning was very easy and the seller made it a very quick and easy process. There aren't many sellers out there that are as professional and courteous as this seller. I'm definitely going to be doing business again so I can get a great value. Thank you!

    First-time EBay shopper. This was my second purchase and the first to arrive, even before I was allowed to give a review! They were packed snugly in the box with lots of bubble wrap around and in between each bowl to keep them safe from harm during shipping. I'm very happy with my experience. :-)

    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.
