citation question

[susan schiavetti <sueshe4@COMCAST.NET>]

Hi all.
Once again I seek your advice.  Today a teacher and I had a disagreement =
about how to cite a source and I'd be interested to see how you would =
have handled the situation.

A student has chosen a poem ("Wild Boar" for example) from Shel =
Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends.  I'm not sure what page number it =
is on but for the sake of this question let's say it's on page 54.  =
HarperCollins is the publisher, New York is the city of publication, and =
the copyright date is 1974.

How would you cite this source using the MLA format?  Would you consider =
it a book with one author, indicating the page the poem is on and not =
including the poem's title?  Would you consider it an anthology, =
including the poem's title but skipping the editor information? =20

I look forward to your opinions and advice.
Thanks.
