Annotated Bibliography #19

Falling Up by Shel Silverstein

Dedicated to his son Matthew, the one hundred forty-four poems in this volume are illustrated by the author himself. This is Silverstein's third poetry collection written and published in his lifetime. As is typical of Silverstein's poetry, these poems are lighthearted and whimsical with the type of humor that is easily understandable for children. Where would the world be without such poems as "The Nose Garden," " Hard to Please," and "Forgetful Paul Revere"?
