"Adults who grew up with Uncle Shelby will find themselves wiping their eyes by the time they get to the end of this collection; children new to the master will find themselves hooked." - Kirkus Reviews

"...Chockfull of the whimsical humor, eccentric characters, childhood fantasies, and iconoclastic glee that [Silverstein's] many fans adore...The volume includes some of Silverstein's strongest work, brilliantly capturing his versatility and topsy-turvy viewpoint." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A multigenerational book for fun in family spaces." - Chicago Tribune

"'Every Thing on It' is bound to give a thrill to new young readers – while providing a time-travel experience for their parents who probably first read 'The Giving Tree' and Silverstein's other books years ago and were changed by them." - Los Angeles Times
