From an exciting new face in children’s literature, Dallas Clayton, comes a book of illustrated poems full of wisdom, wonder, and whimsy.A boy with a beard tries to stay six forever. A frightful monster lives a million miles away, but is equally scared of you. A magic rope hangs from the sky, next to a sign saying "Give me a try." In this brightly illustrated selection of playful, often provocative poems, ideas run the gamut from stopping your lightning-fast running to help others keep up, imagining a store that sells colors never before made, or admitting you’ll never know all the answers (and sleeping better at night). Following the runaway success of his self-published debut, Dallas Clayton’s quirky, captivating collection makes it clear that this rising talent, whose work has evoked comparisons to Dr. Seuss, Maurice Sendak, and Shel Silverstein, exudes a spirit and style all his own.

My 5-year old loves this book. He reads it nearly every day. The messages are easy for him to understand. I personally love the stories as well. They carry so much profound insight that all ages can appreciate and learn from. Thank you Dallas Clayton!!
This was a fun book with some amazing poetry within it. I have always been a fan of authors such as Shel Silverstein and this author does remind me of his writings. Free flowing and fun, the poems draw you in and pull on your inner child to explore and reach out to simply enjoy life and remember what it was like to be young. Inside all of these stories though there is a wisdom that the author is sharing with his readers that all readers should appreciate, I know that I did. I also enjoyed the colorful playful images that the author shares with her readers with every story that he shares. This was a book that I loved reading with my own children and you will too! I highly recommend this to all!
Very cleaver and witty book. After reading it to make sure it wasn't too young for my 8 year old nephew I thought my 3 year old nieces would like it as well so I was impressed with the wide variety of ages.
Great stories for any age, boy or girl. My 9mo old, 5 & 6 year old LOVE reading it! The author has creatively incorporated life lessons into each story. Very unique writing and illustrations.... Awesome gift too
This is a classic! My daughters and I take turns reading a poem each night. Some are silly, but they all have a beautiful message.
right up any kid's alley, who doesn't love magic? and busy pictures full of color? grownups will also love turning these pages.
