I grew up with this poetry book. My dad and mom would read the poems to me when I was little or I would pour over the pictures. This is one of the only books in my literary history that comes from by dad's side of the family. When my dad was little, his mom read the poems to him. My favorites (sentimentally) are "The Raggedy Man," "Custard the Cowardly Dragon," and "Father William."
