In this revised and expanded edition, Silverstein's economical black line drawings illustrate the joys of owning a rhinoceros: "He is a terrific back scratcher. And he makes a very lovely lamp. He will eat bad report cards before your parents see them." The straightforward text belies the goofiness of the pictures, with the rhinoceros jumping rope, playing pirates, and opening a soda can with his horn.
