| I have Where the Sidewalk Ends and Falling Up. These are GREAT books. He writes the most creative and fun poetry I have ever read. Plains post about his song is what made me think of this. I can sit and read his books from beginning to end without stopping. Kids just love his poetry!! Adults too ![]()

| Yep, I bought "The Giving Tree" when my oldest was just a pup. The way he writes captures the young'uns attention (same could be said for Seuss, but in a different style all-together) and the meaning of the story is perfect for kids. But my favorite work of his is still "the smoke off". ![]()

| Ohh...my all time favorite has to be "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout would not take the garbage out". I loved his stuff when I was little!! Maybe I'll just take atrip to the library and check some out.

| " I Stepped In Dog Shit" I think was the title of the poem, and the other was something about a guy that had two shlongs.... Silverstein cracks me up, too..... Some Where In Ded Land............

| His books are fantastic because they're just as entertaining to read as "adults" (who really ever grows up?) as they were when you were kids. They really are timeless. |

| I love Silverstein! My favorite out of Where the Sidewalk Ends: Tree House- A tree house, a free house, A secret you and me house, A high up in the leafy branches Cozy as can be house. A street house, a neat house, Be sure and wipe your feet house Is not my kind of house at all - Let's go live in a tree house. |

| That's not in any of his books (can you imagine that being in a children's poetry book? ). It's a song off of one of his cds. Also check out "I Got Stoned and I Missed it", another good song by him, though not nearly as awesome as "The Smoke-Off".
