As a children's author, illustrator, poet, songwriter, screenwriter, playwright and Oscar nominee, Shel Silverstein was truly one of a kind. His work entertained and amused both children and adults.
To celebrate Silverstein's life and work, HarperCollins Children's Books has released special anniversary editions of four of his books: "A Light in the Attic" (HarperCollins Children's Books, $17.99), "Falling Up" (HarperCollins Children's Books, $17.99), "The Missing Piece" (HarperCollins Children's Books, $15.99) and "The Missing Piece Meets the Big O" (HarperCollins Children's Books, $15.99).
The two poetry collections, "Falling Up" and "A Light in the Attic," showcase Silverstein's gifts for absurdity and profundity, with memorable characters and hilarious rhymes. "The Missing Piece" and "The Missing Piece Meets the Big O" are classic modern-day fables, showcasing the importance of self-awareness and finding your inner strength.
In addition, the special 25th anniversary edition of "A Light in the Attic" comes with a bonus two-sided poster featuring a collage of favorite characters from Silverstein's collected works--works that have sold over 20 million hardcover copies in the U.S. alone and have been translated into more than 30 languages.
