Sobre l'autor

The most popular current writer of humorous verse for children, Shel Silverstein was born in Chicago, Illinois, has been married and divorced, has one daughter, and currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. His career includes composing popular songs, drawing cartoons, writing many adult articles mostra'n més (several for Playboy), and acting. However, he is best known for his self-illustrated children's poetry. His first such book was Uncle Shelby's Story of Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back (1963), the humorous tale of a lion who turns the tables on hunters. It was followed by The Giving Tree (1964), a story of a parentlike tree that gives endlessly and is endlessly used by its son. Several other such picture books followed, including The Missing Piece (1976), about a circle that goes in search of a missing piece, and its sequel, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O (1981). However, two collections of poetry are probably his best-loved work: Where the Sidewalk Ends: The Poems and Drawings of Shel Silverstein (1974), and A Light in the Attic (1981). All of Silverstein's poetry for children employs the language play common to Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. Silverstein is probably the best of the contemporary nonsense poets for children.

Where the Sidewalk Ends de Shel Silverstein

For poetry month and beyond, this will have children laughing out loud. Some highlights were "Boa Constrictor", "Cynthia Sylvia Stout...", "Hector the Collector", and "Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too".
The students imagined where Ickle Me and friends went, and what they saw. They enjoyed sharing their imaginative responses.

The Giving Tree de Shel Silverstein

This is a beautiful book. Teachers and parents can use this book to teach so many things... friendship, kindness, stewardship, character traits, inferencing...etc. I love using this book to spark discussions about enjoying nature as spring arrives.
