Millie McDeevit screamed a scream
So loud it made her eyebrows steam.
She screamed so loud
Her jawbone broke,
Her tongue caught fire,
Her nostrils smoked...

Poor Screamin' Millie is just one of the unforgettable characters in this wondrous new book of poems and drawings by the creator of Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic.

Here you will also meet Allison Beals and her twenty-five eels; Danny O'Dare, the dancin' bear; the Human Balloon; and Headphone Harold.

So come, wander through the Nose Garden, ride the Little Hoarse, eat in the Strange Restaurant, and let the magic of Shel Silverstein open your eyes and tickle your mind.


本書仍秉持一貫風趣、銳利機智、顛覆的創作風格，特別值得一提的是，他的創作力不但絲毫未減，而且更加豐沛，圖畫的線條更加有力道，每個開頁的空間設計，也似乎更開拓飽滿。

讀者除了咀嚼他那別具味道的詩之外，還能享受每翻一頁時，圖畫的躍動及時空的流轉。
