The listing, "Falling Up" by Shel Silverstein has ended.
You are bidding on a childhood favorite...Falling Up by Shel Silversein!!! I have had this book a little over a year but have never opened it. I grabbed it at a bookstore, with childhood memories flooding back in.
I have decided to auction it off for someone who will enjoy it. Maybe read to children, or if you are like me, just want to revisit childhood memories.
When I started to open it just to take two inside pictures you can still hear that new "creak" sound. The book has yet to be opened fully. I consider it in Perfect condition. I bought it and it went straight to the bookshelf.
Shel Silverstein's magical tradition continues with this long-awaited companion to A Light in the Attic and Where the Sidewalk Ends. Here are more than 100 new poems and drawings by the master of wit and wisdom, featuring a wealth of wonderfully amusing and lovable characters, including Allison Beals and Her 25 Eels, Reachin' Richard, the clothes-dryin' Moose, and Danny O'Dare, the Dancin' Bear. 160 black & white line drawings. Shel Silverstein’s incomparable line drawings add to the hilarity of his wildly funny rhymes. The book was the recipient of the Booklist Editors' Award in 1996.
DID YOU KNOW THAT....
Silverstein was a soldier in the U.S. Army in Japan and Korea in the '50s and drew cartoons for Stars and Stripes, the American military publication.
Silverstein wrote several songs. His country-western song "A Boy Named Sue" was a hit for Johnny Cash in 1969. His song for Postcards From the Edge, "I'm Checkin' Out," was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe.
This book will be a treat for any home, for young and old!!! I also have "The Giving Tree" I plan on listing.
