商品簡介
The first book-length study of Silverstein's work presents a thought-provoking appreciation of his contributions to children's literature, particularly children's poetry and humor. Chapters discuss key experiences which have shaped his career; themes, pacing, illustrations, layout, and organization of his poetry books; selected poems, including an appraisal of Falling Up ; critics' responses; his place in the tradition of children's poetry; and theories regarding the development of humor in children.
