Comments on: Happy Birthday, Shel Silverstein! http://modernkiddo.com/happy-birthday-shel-silverstein/ Where vintage and modern style for kids meet.

My fifth grade teacher read us THE GIVING TREE and cried while she read it. I read all of his books to my students when I taught–I brought his poetry books on our bathroom breaks and read the class poems as the waited in line and filed in and out of the bathroom!! I consider him pivotal in getting some of my reluctant readers interested in books! Thanks for the post!!!

I know, right? And also, he had a rather tragic life–his wife died and then his daughter died! So tragic, and yet he continued to write such wonderful lighthearted positive things.

Ahh! Totally! I also remember that nail one. It was the book that every kid had on their bookshelf growing up!

I have to admit, I always like when she chooses to read that at bedtime.
