| | | Description: | | 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. 1996 Children's Books (NY Public Library)

A must in every homeMay 23, 2010
for a very long time I have been looking for poems for my children to read and enjoy. I have found this book and also bought "Where the sidewalk ends". I like the books because they are cute, simple, funny and illustrated in a very fun way. My 7 year old loves it and my 4 year old can understand them as well.
I will keep them for my grandchildren as well. ( I am aware that that is a long time from now..)

I really love the Falling Up book. It brings back memories from when I was an elementary.
Excellent poetry reading for kidsFeb 25, 2010
This book contains poems that are funny but also make good discussion with your kids. They can be read together or individually but are great fun. This is a great tool that can be used to encourage reading formally and informally. We are planning to buy more of this author's poetry books!

Silversteins book Falling Up is a good example of veiwing the world in a different way. It makes you think. I like the poetry.
