From Shel Silverstein, the celebrated author of The Giving Tree and Where the Sidewalk Ends, comes The Missing Piece, a charming fable that gently probes the nature of quest and fulfillment.

It was missing a piece. And it was not happy. What it finds on its search for the missing piece is simply and touchingly told. This inventive and heartwarming book can be read on many levels, and Silverstein’s iconic drawings and humor are sure to delight fans of all ages.

So it set off in search
of its missing piece.
And as it rolled
it sang this song—
Oh I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
Hi-dee-ho, here I go,
Lookin' for my missin' piece.

And don't miss Runny Babbit Returns, the new book from Shel Silverstein!

Evaluation Containing Books The Missing Piece (The Missing Piece #1)

Growing up I remember Shel Silverstein's books distinctly because I have never seen those types of illustrations in the front cover and even though I was too little to read them I was fascinated at looking at the pictures. Then going a few years back I read some recommendations of pictures book that will impact your life and this book was included in the list. I only remember now to read it after I recently read The Giving Tree and found that the library has this book. Even though the story did

I like how children's books have a way of teaching life lessons in an effortless manner. A great book not only for kids, but for adults as well to remind them of the importance of individualism and self-acceptance. Another great book by Shel Silverstein!

This is one of the most amazing books I have ever read in my life. Silverstein is a genius at metaphor. About a year after my separation from my husband, I was going through some boxes and I came across this book. I had written the date on it that the book club had sent it to my son. I had taped a picture of my son (at the age he was when he received the book... about 4 years old). I pushed the box aside and read the book. I realized that everything was going to be ok. I was the "piece".

Even to this very day, I am still reading Shel Silversteins works and I am finding them much more interesting than ever before! Now, I have recently picked up another book by Shel Silverstein called The Missing Piece and man, was this one enjoyable read!Basically, this book is about a circle who is missing a piece of itself and how it tries to find its missing piece through snowy weather and through mountains. While on the way, the circle meets up with several triangular shaped pieces that the

I'm a bit iffy on this one. I think it is a great message that we are whole as we are, but this book seems to suggest that you don't need anyone else in life. In fact, it seems to say we're better off alone, and that is a message I find hard to swallow.

The Missing Piece was quite a delight. It is a great exploration within the simplicity, but yet the great depth of what Shel Silverstein has to offer when it comes to basic wisdom for young readers. In this case, a Pac-Man-like character is looking for a "missing piece" in order to seek a sense of completion, but it realizes that one does not necessarily need a particular attribute or object in order to seek perfection and that perfection is something that comes from within. I can definitely see

"Hi," it said."Hi," said the piece."Are you anybody else's missing piece?""Not that I know of.""Well, maybe you want to be your own piece?""I can be someone's and still be my own.""Well, maybe you don't want to be mine.""Maybe I do.""Maybe we won't fit....""Well...""Hummm?""Ummmm!"It fit!It fit perfectly!At last! At last!And away it rolledand because it was now complete,it rolled faster and faster. Faster than it had ever rolled before!So fast that it could not stop to talk to a wormor smell a
