You haven't? Well then, step inside - but only if you are ready to be amazed, tickled, astonished and entertained by this most unusual bestiary of silly and scary creatures.

Shel Silverstein combined his unique imagination and bold brand of humor for his first poetry collection - the only one he illustrated in full color. Now available again after three decades, DON'T BUMP THE GLUMP! and Other Fantasies was originally published in 1964, the same year as his most famous picture book, THE GIVING TREE.
