Poetry Galore & More with Shel Silverstein
Although this book was written with teachers in mind as the reader, it is very useful for parents as well. I think every teacher for this age group should definitely have this book. And as a parent who wants to be intimately involved in my child's education and literary growth, I'm thrilled to have the book as a resource. It has great, fun games and activity ideas for many of Shel ...

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. When I took it to the office we took turns reading from it and laughed silly. It really lightened the atmosphere.
Also a ...

Lafcadio : The Lion Who Shot Back22 reviews
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 this one to my children, we wanted MORE.
In my kids' schools, the Giving Tree was always considered such a classic, and ...

Falling Up63 reviews
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, same odd way of looking at life, same delightful black and white drawings. Publisher's Weekly got it pretty right here, in their ...

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.

This book, written by Shel Silverstien, is a creative book of poetry and fun that will allow for children of all ages to let their imaginations run free.

The Missing Piece Meets the Big O34 reviews
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 makes for a great read aloud book for pre-schoolers. I read this book recently in front of my class of 4 and 5-year-olds and 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.
Another must have book for any fan of Shel Silverstein is Boetry by Beau Beaudoin. His books are often compared to Shel, Dr. Seuss and Tim Burton. What my ...

As sweet as they used to be
Silverstein is our favorite author of children's books. He is just perfect! In fact his works are as good for the parents as for their children. Whichever Silverstein's book I bought for any of my five children (each one of them has his own Silverstein), we have ALL read them. That includes my children, myself, and even sometimes my husband. "Light in the Attic" is no exception to that rule. I ...

From the Dust Jacket
Different Dances
A modern
ballet
where
lovers are ground
to hamburger
wives are turned into chairs
TV sets eat people
flowers grow from
children's heads
God is uncovered - and
re-covered
and men are hung
by the instrument
of their desire
Startling, irreverent and
provocative, the incomparable
creator of poems and fables
for children now turns his eye
and pen ...

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. Excellent condition. That's my new routine...browse bookstores for nifty things and buy them here.

L'Arbre Genereux (The Giving Tree), French Edition1 review
Shel Silverstein
Schoenhof Foreign Books, 1995
A great book for introducing poetry to French children or those who are bilingual.
I purchased this book to slowly introduce poetry to my grandson, as the author is a favorite of is mother's.
Jackson is only 18 months old. His vocabulary French and English is beyond that of a two year old. Still, we are going to go very slowly. We have completed the first two pages and he now comprehends them.
I think that it will be best used and understood when he is about 9 and ...

The Missing Piece32 reviews
HarperCollins, 1976
Really , being careful what you ask for, you might just get it
My daughter, Sophia, recently reminded me that this was her "favorite" Silverstein growing up, though she certainly read them all and grew up on them. Well, not the adult magazine stuff, the kid stuff. Now almost 16 she tells me that she thinks this particular story has a "genius" that she relates to her view of the "search" for "love" and "completion". A part of me, as her mom, cringes now ...

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 child's happiness, in order to be happy.
