Product Description

Published by Penguin for the first timeShel Silverstein's moving classic The Giving Tree has sold 8 million in the US, and has been translated into 30 languagesAnother delightful and quirky book of poems and drawings accompanied by Silverstein's iconic black and white line art, which reflect his signature humour and timeless style'Wry, humorous ... his poems share the same anarchic spirit as Spike Milligan' Independent Shel Silverstein's very first children's book Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back was published in 1963, and followed the next year by two other books. The first of those, The Giving Tree, is a moving story about the love of a tree for a boy; it took four years before Harper Children's books decided to publish it. Shel returned to humour that same year with A Giraffe and a Half. His first collection of poems and drawings, Where the Sidewalk Ends, appeared in 1974, and his second, A Light in the Attic, in 1981. When he was a G.I. in Japan and Korea in the 1950, he learned to play the guitar and to write songs, including 'A Boy Named Sue' for Johnny Cash. In 1984, Silverstein won a Grammy Award for Best Children's Album for Where the Sidewalk Ends - 'recited, sung and shouted' by the author. He was also an accomplished playwright, including the 1981 hit, 'The Lady or the Tiger Show.' The last book to be published before he died in 1999, was Falling Up (1996).

There's a light on in the attic.
I can see it from outside,
And I know you're on the inside ... lookin' out.

Step inside the mind of Shel Silverstein and you'll discover a magic homework machine, a Polar Bear in the fridge and a Meehoo With an Exactlywatt. But beware stolen knees, the babysitter who likes to squash children - and the nighttime peril of the Whatifs!
This is the second book of beloved poems and pictures from the marvellous master of nonsense, Shel Silverstein.

'A genius ... his is an enduring influence''Resonates beyond words''That rare adult who can still think like a child'
