Two books that bring up fond childhood memories are “no roses for harry” and “socks for supper”- anyone had these as a child?

Ah, but the mystery is, how did it get small again . . . ?
Sorry, but that book is one of my childhood faves.

The best Jewish children’s book I ever read is bat em in benji. I highly recommend. Beautiful lesson, and written really well. The rhyme scheme is perfect.
What’s with Jewish books needing to rhyme when the author clearly can’t rhyme to save his life?
Newsflash people:
Lamp and cat don’t rhyme just because they have the same vowel sound!!!!😤😤😤😤😤 |
I'd rather have lamp and cat try to rhyme than awkward syntax or emphasis on the wrong syllable.

I don't recall the title of the book but I once read a kids book where the kid is told not to leave the house because of some scary guy who lived in their neighborhood. He goes around the corner and gets caught. He hides under the sofa and when the scary person asks him to stick out his leg he sticks out the leg of a chair or something like that. He runs away and when he grows up he gets a wagon and horses himself. Anyone remember anything like that?

Personally, I love The Giving Tree, and while Shel Silverstein may not have been an attractive man (someone commented on his photo on the back of one of his books), his poems are clever.

He was a genius. I didn't comment on his appearance, but have you read about any of his adult writing? Very bizarre, which also makes you think twice about some of his kid stuff.

I liked the book THe Witches by Roald Dahl. But the end always creeped me out. Because the boys remain mice. It really bothered me a lot. Ronald Dahl books are generally kind of creepy.

I LOVE Shel Silverstein! His poems are such wacky fun!
We did this in fifth grade, and I still quote it all the time:
Sick
By Shel Silverstein
“I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
“I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I’m going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox
And there’s one more--that’s seventeen,
And don’t you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut--my eyes are blue--
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I’m sure that my left leg is broke--
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button’s caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle’s sprained,
My ‘pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow’s bent, my spine ain’t straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?
What’s that? What’s that you say?
You say today is. . .Saturday?
G’bye, I’m going out to play!”

I had nightmares for MONTHS after reading Kids Speak. To this day I can't bring myself to read any of his books and I fail to see the purpose of the series.

I agree. Also the one called peanut butter and jelly for shobbos teaches kids to play around with food in the kitchen without adult supervision. Despite the fact they say u can't yse a knife, I still don't need my three year old opening tuna cans and peeling food on his own
