内容推荐 Last night while I lay thinking here Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear And pranced and partied all night long And sang their same old Whatif song: Whatif I flunk that test? Whatif green hair grows on my chest? Whatif nobody likes me? Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?... Here in the attic of Shel Silverstein you will find BackwardBill, Sour Face Ann, the Meehoo with an Exactlywatt, and the PolarBear in the Frigidaire. You will talk with Broiled Face, and findout what happens when Somebody steals your knees, you get caught bythe Quick-Digesting Gink, a Mountain snores, and They Put aBrassiere on the Camel. From the creator of the beloved poetry collections Where theSidewalk Ends and Falling Up, here is another wondrous book ofpoems and drawings.
