Millie McDeevit screamed a scream, so loud it made her eyebrows steam.
She screamed so loud, her jawbone broke,
Her tongue caught fire, her nostrils smoked...


Poor Screamin' Millie is just one of the unforgettable characters in this wondrous new book of poems and drawings. Here you will also meet Allison Beals and her twenty-five eels; Danny O'Dare, the dancin' bear; the Human Balloon; and Headphone Harold.

Shel Silverstein, the New York Times bestselling author, has created a poetry collection that is outrageously funny and deeply profound.

So come, wander through the Nose Garden, ride the Little Hoarse, eat in the Strange Restaurant, and let the magic take you.
