New Releases by Shel Silverstein

A young boy grows to manhood and old age experiencing the love and generosity of a tree which gives to him without thought of return.

"Once there was a tree ... and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk ... and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another''s capacity to love in return. This miniature full-cloth, gold-stamped edition will be treasured by all ages.

Cheeky and clever, and often darkly subversive, these poems are vintage Silverstein. His poems are humorously seditious, full of rhyme, rhythm, and energetic word play. Silverstein''s pen-and-ink drawings extend and explain the words, making them the perfect accompaniment. La risa viene andando en verso, esta poesía es un ramillete de travesuras, de ideas ingeniosas, y de ocurrencias graciosas. Cada poema es un alarde agudo y ocurrente que se convierte en motivo de broma. Silverstein ha unido el talento literario y la capacidad para crear sutiles ilustraciones humorísticas que forman parte de los poemas, que son una estrofa más, y que dan la clave de cómo se ha de leer el libro.
