內容簡介

Poor Screamin' Millie is just one of the unforgettable characters in this wondrous new book of poems and drawings by the creator of Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic. Here you will also meet Allison Beals and her twenty-five eels; Danny O'Dare, the dancin' bear; the Human Balloon; and Headphone Harold.

So come, wander through the Nose Garden, ride the Little Hoarse, eat in the Strange Restaurant, and let the magic of Shel Silverstein open your eyes and tickle your mind.

作者簡介

"Born in Chicago on September 25, 1930, Sheldon Allan Silverstein grew up to attain an enormous public following, but he always preferred to say little about himself. When I was a kid, he told Publishers Weekly in 1975, I would much rather have been a good baseball player or a hit with the girls. But I couldn't play ball. I couldn't dance. So I started to draw and to write. He began contributing cartoons to Stars and Stripes, the U.S. military publication, when he was serving in the armed forces in Korea during the 1950s.

精彩書評

"All the things that children loved about A Light in the Attic and Where the Sidewalk Ends can be found in abundance in this eclectic volume, Silverstein's first book of poetry in 20 years. By turns cheeky and clever and often darkly subversive, the poems are vintage Silverstein, presented in a black-and-white format that duplicates his earlier books. Like Roald Dahl, Silverstein's cartoons and poems are humorously seditious, often giving voice to a child's desire to be empowered or to retaliate for perceived injustice: one child character wields a ""Remote-a-Dad"" that will instantly control his father, and another dreams of his teachers becoming his students so that when they talk or laugh in class, he can ""pinch 'em 'til they [cry]."" The poems focus on the unexpected-a piglet receives a ""people-back ride"" and Medusa's snake-hair argues about whether to be coifed in cornrows or bangs. Sometimes the art traffics in gross-out, as when William Tell gets an arrow through his forehead or a cartoon character sticks carrots in his sockets because he's heard that carrots are good for his eyes. Although some parents and teachers may cringe at such touches, Silverstein's anti-establishment humor percolates as he lampoons conventions (the stork not only brings babies but ""comes and gets the older folks/ When it's their time to go""), or discards decorum (a small gardener zips up his pants after watering the plants ""that way""). No matter that the author's rhythms and rhymes can be sloppy, or that his annoying insistence on leavin' off the endin' to his ING's seems artificially folksy, Silverstein's ability to see the world from, as he says, ""a different angle"" will undoubtedly earn this book a wide audience. All ages.""
--Publishers Weekly

""Grade 3 Up?Fifteen years after A Light in the Attic (1981) and 22 years after Where the Sidewalk Ends (1974, both HarperCollins), Silverstein, whose poetry has achieved cultlike popularity, offers readers another collection. While bodily functions seem to be the source of humor in more poems than in the earlier titles, and while there are fewer wonderful images here, the child appeal is as strong as ever. Once again, Silverstein's pen-and-ink drawings are the perfect accompaniment to the poems, always extending and often explaining the words. The book abounds in energetic wordplay (""I saw an ol' gnome/Take a gknock at a gnat/Who was gnibbling the gnose of his gnu"") and childlike silliness (""I only ate one drumstick/At the picnic dance this summer...But everybody's mad at me,/Especially the drummer""). Silverstein writes wonderful nonsense verse, but he has used rhyme and rhythm to greater effect in the past. There is much to love in Falling Up, but it has its ups and downs."
--School Library Journal

A novel in verse that pulses with a fresh perspective. 12 year old Annie enjoys running barefoot and drawing the world around her. Sweet and simple, her daily observations and musings envelop the reader into her world. While a rather idyllic setting, the tone never becomes too saccharine and Annie's voice lingers long after her story is read
