In this revised and expanded edition, Silverstein's economical black-line drawings illustrate the joys of owning a rhinoceros: "He will eat bad report cards before your parents see them." The deadpan text belies the goofiness of the pictures, with the rhinoceros jumping rope, playing pirates, and opening a soda can with his horn. This paper-over-board edition is notable for its bargain price.
