Gary Wittmann has created his love of Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss through his drawings and poetry. Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein, Jack Prelutsky and recently Kenn Nesbitwere my heros as I grew up. I would read their books and practicedrawing and writing the words with the rhythm and poetry. I am humble by people who says my poetry reminds them of my heros.

WHAT OTHERS SAYS ABOUT THE BOOk: I got this book for my nephew and to my surprise he really liked it (11 year old boys can be difficult to buy for). The book is a collection of poems for all ages, there's something for everyone. I personally liked the "America" poem, very touching. So I suggested my nephew submit it to his history teacher, as she is always interested in new venues to broaden the children's understanding of American culture. His teacher and class loved it! The author did a beautiful job with capturing the American Pride on that one. I enjoyed the humor, heart and love the author put into this book
