4.0 out of 5 stars Not his best, but still pretty good, 4 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros? (Hardcover)
1964 was a pretty busy year for Shel Silverstein. not only was he travelling around the world making strange observations as Playboy's roving reporter, but he had 4 books published: The Giving Tree (which has been reviewed and analyzed to death, if you ask me), A Giraffe and a Half, Uncle Shelby's Zoo: Don't Bump the Glump (inexplicably out of print) and this little book, later revised in 1983.

Quite honestly, I didn't get a real impression of this book. It was--dare I say it?--rather cute. However, judging from the negative review previously posted, perhaps Shel's humor did manage to poke its way through the simplistic narrative and rhyme. In other words, perhaps "Rhinoceros" is worth another look.

Still, I have to wonder--it was the only book of his published at MacMillan (not his usual haunts of S&S and Harper&Row/Collins) and I guess I am curious at the genesis of its publication. But perhaps that is something I shall never know.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is not appropriate for children, 23 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros? (Hardcover)
I checked this book out at the library for my 3 1/2 year old. Then we read it - MISTAKE! I should have read it alone first. It mentions the Rhino opening "beer cans for your uncle", helping you get extra money from your father, standing between you and your mother when she is about to discipline you... then it says "he is good for yelling at" - aren't these nice lessons to teach your children? I don't think so! I couldn't give it less than 1 star or I would have. Mr. Silverstein should have been more responsible when writing for small children.
