My school has it as part of the curriculum and the girls love it! The girls KNOW it is ridiculous and just a fun read

I found Shel Silverstein's children's books in general to be part brilliant and part downright disturbing.

It doesn't hold up as a realistic story, but it makes sense to little kids.

Ohh yes, I always found Shel Silverstein's books disturbing.
And I totally agree that the mother in "I Love You Forever" has major boundary issues (but I did cry when I read it).

Roald Dahl is also pretty disturbing.
