Search - List of Books by Shel Silverstein

"Imagine - four years you could have spent travelling around Europe meeting people, or going to the Far East of Africa or India, meeting people, exchanging ideas, reading all you wanted to anyway, and instead I wasted it at Roosevelt." -- Shel Silverstein
Sheldon Allan "Shel" Silverstein (September 25, 1932 — May 10, 1999) was an American poet, singer-songwriter, musician, composer, cartoonist, screenwriter and author of children's books. He styled himself as Uncle Shelby on his children's books, and some sources incorrectly state that he was born Shelby Silverstein. He signed some cartoons simply S.S. Translated into 20 languages, his books have sold over 20 million copies.
