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.
