Who doesn’t love Shel Silverstein poems?
Kids love to read and recite them as much today as they did decades ago. And I think Shel would’ve been pretty blown away with with website created in his honor at shelsilverstein.com.

What a treat to hear Shel Silverstein narrate his poem, “Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too, ” from Where the Sidewalk Ends. (2:14 min.)
