Falling Up

Summary: Funny poems!
Review: What can I say, except my 10 year old fifth-grader who does not like to read much at all, enjoys reading this book of poems before going to bed each night. I am so grateful he enjoys reading them. I have read some of them outloud to him and they are funny, they ryhme and they have great imagination. If you have a child of any age, I recommend this book to expose him/her to the creative art of poetry and just because they're fun!

Summary: GENIUS...... ABSOLUTE PURE GENIUS
Review: What can one say about another book from the master of childrens poetry. Mr Silverstein improves with each syllable he pens. From A Light In The Attic to my all time favorite book, The Giving Tree, this author has kept you laughing or crying and on occasion both at the same time. Each poem is a masterpiece, an heirloom to be passed on from generation to generation. This book, as well as his others, make the perfect gift for children ages 1 to 101. It is rare these days that parents and kids can relate to the same topics or speak the same language. Falling Up is that key to bringing the generations closer. This was unfortunately his last book before he passed in 1999. Get this book as a tribute to him and a gift to yourself.
