Falling Up By Shel Silverstein [Book Review]

12 April 2023

I got the book at Barnes & Noble when I was a kid.

Summary:

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.

My Review:

The cover portrays the title well and matches the illustrations used inside the book to explain the poetry.

I was very much into Where The Sidewalk Ends when I was a kid, so I ended up getting this book as well.

Shel Silverstein upholds his reputation of writing silly yet witty poetry for kids. Each poem has the same premise of using the imagination and also having a certain rhyme or rhythm to it yet the content of each poem is vastly different from the last. The lengths of the poems vary, but they’re all quick reads and this is a book to keep turning the pages.

This was a great book to revisit from when I was a kid. My nephew is about 2.5 and I’d love to read this book with him sometime. This is a great one for kids.

Falling Up by Shel Silverstein gets…
5 out of 5 cups

Favorite Quote:

“No teacher, preacher, parent, friend Or wise man can decide What’s right for you – just listen to

The voice that speaks inside.” -Shel Silverstein, Falling Up
