	''Silly Verse for Kids'' was Milligan's first book. Many of the pieces had been written to entertain his children, who inspired some of the poems. Their lengths vary: some are as short as four lines, and very few extend to more than one page. Most are accompanied by one or more of Milligan's drawings, a few of which do not relate to the poems. The collection includes "[[On the Ning Nang Nong]]".		''Silly Verse for Kids'' was Milligan's first book.

''Silly Verse for Kids'' was Milligan's first book. Many of the pieces had been written to entertain his children, who inspired some of the poems. Their lengths vary: some are as short as four lines, and very few extend to more than one page. Most are accompanied by one or more of Milligan's drawings, a few of which do not relate to the poems. The collection includes "[[On the Ning Nang Nong]]".

Later editions combine the original content of ''Silly Verse for Kids'' with two of Milligan's later collections: ''A Dustbin of Milligan'' and ''The Little Pot Boiler'', which had been published in 1961 and 1963 respectively.
