这是一本充满童趣和想象力的绘本诗集.

Looking for a new pet? Bored with cats, dogs, goldfish, gerbils, and hamsters? How about a cheap rhinoceros? Shel Silverstein''s loving look at the joys of rhino ownership may convince you to be the one lucky kid to take home this very, very unusual pet. There are lots of things a rhinoceros can do around one''s house, including eating bad report cards before one''s parents see them, tiptoeing downstairs for a midnight snack, and collecting extra allowance.

A most unusual collection of wacky, funny, scary creatures with imaginative fantasies in verse.

一本の木が少年に与える、限りない愛情を描いたロングセラー絵本が、 村上春樹の新訳で再登場。「あなたが何歳であれ、何度もこのお話を読み返していただきたい」(訳者あとがきより)

Cheeky and clever, and often darkly subversive, these poems are vintage Silverstein. His poems are humorously seditious, full of rhyme, rhythm, and energetic word play. Silverstein''s pen-and-ink drawings extend and explain the words, making them the perfect accompaniment. La risa viene andando en verso, esta poesía es un ramillete de travesuras, de ideas ingeniosas, y de ocurrencias graciosas. Cada poema es un alarde agudo y ocurrente que se convierte en motivo de broma. Silverstein ha unido el talento literario y la capacidad para crear sutiles ilustraciones humorísticas que forman parte de los poemas, que son una estrofa más, y que dan la clave de cómo se ha de leer el libro.

A missing piece, looking for someone to carry it along, finally develops its own momentum.
