shipping time took longer than it typically does from O-Stock - 4 days later than it's eta. I would order this the full 3 weeks prior if it's for an occasion to ensure it arrives on time. As for the book, it's classic Shel with his off-center illustrations and insightful pithy writings

This shel Silverstein book is great, my only disappointment was within the u.s. Mail service. As soon as I contacted overstock they took this matter into their own hands and got this present for my grandson to me immediately! I was extremely happy with their customer service and immediate action.

This took alot longer to receive, I didn’t read about printed materials shipping policy and was late for my daughters birthday, but, good enough. The poetry is classic Silverstein, even if compiled after he’s been gone awhile.

I am a 41 year old woman, and still love Shel Silverstein. I give his books as gifts to people's kids all the time. This one however, I bought for myself. SO glad I did!
