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. Filled with unforgettable characters like Screamin’ Millie; Allison Beals and her twenty-five eels; Danny O'Dare, the dancin' bear; the Human Balloon; and Headphone Harold, this collection by the celebrated Shel Silverstein will charm young readers and make them want to trip on their shoelaces and fall up too!

    Cherished Childhood Tomfoolery

    These books along with other works of the late and still quite great Shel Silverstein are heirlooms of my younger years. Sure, I could’ve found each and every poem in this book as well others somewhere online. But to have a physical paper copy really powers the time machine of the human mind.

    Book sound, but not as good as new.

    paperback cover was ripped and 20% missing. Could tell it was an older book. Usually the books are in such good shape I don't mind giving them as gifts. I wouldn't feel comfortable giving t his one.

  • Falling Up by Shel Silvertein

    I have had A Light in the Attic and Where the Sidewalk Ends since I was little. Now with kids of my own that have taken an interest in my Shel Silverstein poem books I decided to get Falling Up. It is a great addition to our collection!

  • Great book!

    Gave 4 stars because it was missing its dust jacket besides the description not stating that. The book itself was a great value for what I paid. Glad to have it.

  • Fun poems and drawings

    I bought this for my 8-year-old to get him into reading more poems than what are assigned occasionally for homework and to enjoy them. The poems are fun to read and some do crack my son up. I highly recommend this book.
