Did you grow up listening to and reading the stories and wacky poems of Shel Silverstein?Remember "Where the Sidewalk Ends?" "The Giving Tree?" and "A Giraffe and a Half?"
Although Shel Silverstein died in 1999, they've put out a new publication of one of his earlier works. One great thing about this new/old work is his wonderful and wildly creative sketches are in color, not black and white as many of his works are. Silverstein's great humor and imaginative fun with twisting words and names around will delight you again in this new release - "Don't Bump the Gump."
Another great find that I'll bet you'll like is the Shel Silverstein website. It's animated, has audio and lots of fun things for readers of all ages to get a kick out of, turn a smile, and want to re-read again and again.
Click on the title above to get to that site and on the sidebar to find yourself back with Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout who would not take the garbage out, and lots of other fun and funny characters you may remember!
