Falling Up by Shel Silverstein

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 out of 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Millie McDeevit screamed a scream
So loud it made her eyebrows steam.
She screamed so loud
Her jawbone broke,
Her tongue caught fire,
Her nostrils smoked...

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.

While I was reading Falling Up it brought back the memories and nostalgia from reading Where the Sidewalk Ends. It helped me to remember all of the reasons that I loved it in the first place. All of the poems are so clever, quirky, and funny. There were a few poems scattered throughout the book that had me in stitches. Falling Up is not only a fun read but a quick one that can be enjoyed no matter what age you are. I don't think that I will ever stop enjoying Shel Silverstein's work. He is a master of cute, funny poems!
