About Shel Silverstein:

SHEL SILVERSTEIN was born on September 25, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois and began writing and drawing at a young age. He became a cartoonist, playwright, poet, performer, recording artist, and Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated songwriter.

Silverstein is best known as the author of iconic books of prose and poetry for young readers. His immensely popular poetry collections are Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up (1996); and Don*t Bump the Glump! And Other Fantasies, which was originally published in 1963 and reissued in 2008. His works also include such modern classics as Lafcadio: The Lion Who Shot Back (1963), The Giving Tree (1964), A Giraffe and a Half (1964), The Missing Piece (1976), and The Missing Piece Meets the Big O (1981). Runny Babbit (2005), a posthumous poetry collection of spoonerisms, was conceived and completed before his death.

Silversteins books, which he also illustrated, are characterized by a deft mixing of the sly and the serious, the macabre, and the just plain silly. His unique imagination and bold brand of humor is beloved by countless adults and children throughout the world. He died in May 1999.
