I think
That possibly that book was called Monster Den and illustrated by Edward Gorey. Or possibly it was called "There's a Nightmare in My Closet". (I've been searching the Library of Congress today.)
Does anyone have them? Do they have finks in sinks in them?

It's a book by Dr. Suess. It's called "There's a Wocket in my Pocket"
I promise, I've read that one many times and it's not! :) It was much more grim. It was a book specifically about monsters. Sorry! :(
After looking at his illustrations I am almost positive it was at least illustrated by him. But a children's book like this? Seems so grim!
That was the magic of Edward Gorey's work - he illustrated so many children's books in so many inappropriate ways!
I have the feeling that the author is Shel Silverstein. This is a link to some of his books:

He was incredibly funny and some of his poems are burned in my memory since the 60's.
Hope this helps.
hey i have a couple of his books at home. i'll check this evening and see if i have this one.
I am pretty sure this book is called Beastly Rhymes by Jack Hanrahan.
