books by Shel Silverstein     books:       The Missing Piece Meets the Big O34 reviews HarperCollins, 1981 Special A person who was one of the most influential in my life gave this to me as a gift. After reading the book, the gesture impacted me that much more. I buy this for anyone that means something to me. This type of book should be shared by all. Silverstein is a master who I still feel isn't talked about enough. Don't forget 'The Missing Piece'!             The Giving Tree (Hebrew)609 reviews Shel Silverstein Modan Publishing House, 2003 One of the Best Children's Books Ever Written In 1974, I gave this to my then seven-year-old son for Christmas - a time for "Giving." I let several days pass and then asked him if he had read the book. He had, so I asked him if he liked it. He said he did, so I asked him what he liked about it. He told me he was glad the tree was still there enough for the man to sit on because the man needed a good friend. Out of the mouths of babes, I ...             Where the Sidewalk Ends (25th Anniversary Edition Book & CD)142 reviews HarperCollins, 2000 quirky yet sentimental let me just say first off (and some of you may boo at me for this) that i am not a big fan of poetry, especially those that don't rhyme, layered with so much metaphor wrapped in some sort of old english language. those of you who can appreciate those, know i'm more than eager to submit in the "im not worthy! im not worthy!" throes. call it barbaric or just plain shallow, but i'd rather stick to ...             Falling Up (Hebrew)65 reviews Shel Silverstein Modan Publishing House, 1996 ALWAYS A JOY TO READ. To be frank, I get a kick out of Silverstein's work. It is always a bit quirky, always takes a couple of readings to really "get," and is very entertaining while being quite insightful as to human nature. This work is no different from his other works, same quality, same odd way of looking at life, same delightful black and white drawings. Publisher's Weekly got it pretty right here, in their ...             The Missing Piece33 reviews Shel Silverstein Scholastic Printing / Harper Collins, 1995 for a wedding gift This is a wonderful children's book, but I have given a copy as a wedding gift. It was very well recieved.             A Giraffe and a Half20 reviews HarperCollins, 1964 Kindergarten class LOVES it! Read this to my Kindergarten students and before I got halfway through the book they were "helping" me read it! They ask for it often.

The poems are fun and silly. Perfect for all ages!             A Light in the Attic64 reviews HarperCollins, 1981 An inscrutable genius, writing in a language children instinctively comprehend Your child just might be more capable of appreciating this marvelous book of poetry than you anticipate. Here's our story. We had brought our child of 20 months to Disney World, at the invitation of her grandparents (my parents.) Like the doting grandparents they are, they not only generously hosted her (and us) on vacation, but they sprang for some books to surprise her with, to keep her ...             A Light in the Attic1 review Shel Silverstein Harper Collins, 1981 book/poetry Shel Siverstein is the best! Great for boys and girls 7-13, even adults! Introduces 'kids' of all ages to fun poetry.             Arbor Alma/the Giving Tree6 reviews Shel Silverstein Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, 2002 Erat quondam arbor... Shel Silverstein's 'The Giving Tree' has become a classic parable of modern times. Like good parables, it has a multivalent quality toward interpretation. Some people love it, and some people hate it. The story is simple, as is the vocabulary and grammar. There is a tree, who loved a boy, and gave the boy whatever he needed that was within her power to give. When the boy was hungry, she gave ...             Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?13 reviews Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2002 Just plain fun. Yes it's plain - loose line drawings, and a sentence or half on each page. But it's fun. There's imagination, play, friendship, and everything else you want a "read to me" kid to hear and see. No big lessons, just a bit of happy goofiness. I want more. //wiredweird             Where the Sidewalk Ends the Poems and Drawings of Shel Silverstein Silverstein Shel Scholastic, Inc., 2005 This book features the comical poems and drawings of Shel Silverstein, author of The Giving Tree and many other popular books for children.             Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book: A Primer for Adults Only64 reviews Shel Silverstein Fireside, 1985 Shel Silverstein Another crowd pleaser at the birthday party.

As a little kid I loved "Where the Sidewalk Ends" and the other works. This has to be the best, though. While obviously it is a children's book, adults love it, too. It tickles the tongue and the spirit. When I took it to the office we took turns reading from it and laughed silly. It really lightened the atmosphere.

I hadn't heard of this book until a few years ago, when I came upon it and read a few pages in the bookstore. WOW!!!

In my kids' schools, the Giving Tree was always considered such a classic, and ...             The Giving Tree Gift Edition10 reviews HarperCollins, 2007 One of the greatest children's books This isn't just a great children's book, its a great story.
