I laugh because I know the book you quote is Shel Sliverstein’s “The Missing Piece.” I have read it to my grandaughter many times. The real meaning of the book don’t hit you till you have read it, oh say ten times or more. Tis sad in deed that the world lost him(Sliverstein) so young.
Have a great day Skob

July 29th, 2005 at 7:46 amThis is one of LittleJuJu’s favorite books. He would always make me read the excerpt from “The Big O” on the back cover flap and I finally bought the book for him the other day so he could read more than just a paragraph…he doesn’t get the true meaning just yet, but one day I hope he will.
July 29th, 2005 at 1:03 pmAh! I love Shel Silverstein and have since the librarian read “Sick” from Where the Sidewalk Ends. Reading it with my kids now, I realize how much deeper he was than I ever knew.
July 29th, 2005 at 2:13 pmShel Silverstein trivia that I just learned yesterday: He wrote “A Boy Named Sue” that Johnny Cash had such a hit with.
Sorry if y’all knew that already.
Shuttin up now.

Silverstein was a genius.
And now, I’m off to look for my Nizzin Geese.
