[.ca] The Missing Piece (ISBN 0060256710)

amazing work!:
wow....a master piece! Little words but ton of ideas to write about (i'm writing an essay for my children literature course.)

The Missing Piece:
The Missing Piece is a great book for all ages. I remember my mother reading this book to me when I was a little girl. At that time, I knew that there was something really special about it. As an adult, I can really appreciate the moral of the story. The book teaches to love and accept yourself just the way that you are. It's a great lesson to be taught to people of all ages, and especially children. I would recomend this book for family reading and enjoyment.

The Missing Piece:
Shel Silverstein has done it again! Every book I have read of his has intrigued me. This is a great story about a lonely circle that is missing a piece. He is sad because of this and searches for his piece. He searches high and low. He does not realize that he is happy without his piece....You should find out why by reading The Missing Piece. It demonstrates well that u can be happy without having everything you want. You just need to find it in yourself.

Silverstein's Guidebook for Being a Person.:
Once, when I was a very young boy, I had the privilege of experiencing Shel Silverstein reading this guidebook to personhood at the Chicago Public Library. At the time, I appreciated it as a story about a Pac-Man figure, (Which was my primary focus at the time), who couldn't find "a missing piece." As I have grown now, in age, intellect, character, loss, and all other forms of life experience, I understand so much more what he was really trying to say to us. He was speaking, in very clear terms about all that is good and beautiful about realizing the worth of one's self, in a simple manner that we will understand well into senescence as well as we understood it in our youth. In summation...purchase this book, share it with those that you love, and most importantly, understand it for yourself. Peace be with you.

Delightful Fable:
A stunningly simple but poignant fable for adults and children, teaching the joy of independence and partnership in all our relations in a way that enlightens without preaching.
