The Missing Piece Meets the Big O
HarperCollins, 1981
Amazing book period.
I absolutely love this book. It has such a great message, and I agree with a lot of the other reviewers that the message is wonderful for both kids and adults.
The illustrations are wonderfully simple, and I really like how there are few words per page. This book ...

Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook
HarperCollins, 2005
May Change the Way You Speak Forever
In a wave of nosthalgia, I bought this Shel Silvertein book. 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. ...

A Light in the Attic
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 ...

As wonderful as Shel's other books
A light in the attic is a great book just like Shel's other books. I have so much fun reading it to my children. This is a wonderful collection of poetry for children. This is the perfect example of what children's books should be... fun.

Where the Sidewalk Ends: Poems and Drawings
HarperCollins, 1974
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 ...

The Giving Tree
Shel Silverstein
HarperCollins, 1992
not so controversial actually......
i'm a child psychology major. anyone who says this is bad for a child is obviously reading way too much into the book, and does not realize children are not capable of doing the same. this is actually a very good book for children. shame on you people and your awful ...

A Giraffe and a Half
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. What better recommendation could there be?!?!?!

Falling Up
HarperCollins, 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, ...

Where the Sidewalk Ends 30th Anniversary Edition: Poems and Drawings
HarperCollins, 2004
Heart and humor
A completely magical collection! The imagination and wit of Shel Silverstein never ceases to amaze me as he does anything to make kids laugh (and, to my eternal gratitude) educate them.
Make no mistake, the man is too intelligent to be just silly. There is ...

El árbol generoso
Shel Silverstein, Carla Pardo Valle
Lectorum Publications, 1988
The Meaning of Being a Parent
I love this book! This book is the story of all the things that a parent provides for their child: love, attention, and comfort. The tree is the "parent" and gives to the child all that it can, until it has no more to give and what a parent expects in return...the ...

Lafcadio, The Lion Who Shot Back
Shel Silverstein
HarperCollins, 1963
wow!
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!!! Although I appreciate Shel Silverstein's other stories and poems, nothing at all is like this one. And, that's a disappointment, because after reading ...

Playboy's Silverstein Around the World
Shel Silverstein
Fireside, 2007
A different side to a childhood icon
Shel Silverstein to most people will always be remebered for his work for children, but tell them he was a songwriter and more surpisingly did cartoons for Playboy, they won't believe you. Through these works we see a side rarely seen or remembered by many. In these ...

Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book: A Primer for Adults Only

Fireside, 1985
Shel Silverstein
Another crowd pleaser at the birthday party. Shel Silverstein does so many good children's books. This is another great one. I found it in a local bookstore and after looking at the price wrote it down and come home to AMAZON. Another Amazon winner price wise. ...

The Giving Tree Gift Edition
HarperCollins, 2007
One of the greatest children's books
This isn't just a great children's book, its a great story. I read this for the first time at age 22 and was deeply touched. I actually bought it for myself, not as a gift. It is a story I want to read to my children one day.
