From the poet Shel Silverstein, this short story depicts the relationship between an apple tree and a boy throughout his life. Quick read with a great moral; this book will teach your children about sharing and love.
from care4pets sweettea - Awesome book...a classic.
He wrote unforgettable stories and the historians have written unforgettable stories about him too. I seem to remember something about him at West Point (smile). from quesea Like all Seuss books this one really makes you think. It's a beautiful book for children and will open up their imagination. from ahanneken - liked from monochrome_lie's entry

Collection of Shel Silverstein poems guaranteed to delight any child! My favorite were 'Sick' and 'The Sitter'. I think both are in this book, but then again, I had most of his books. If they aren't in this one, then they are in 'A Light in the Attic' another collection of poems by this author. from care4pets - liked from katrina's entry melstergirl liked this entryGreat poetry will entertain your kids for hours! His other book of poetry, 'Where the Sidewalk Ends' is equally as good. from care4pets saskee007 liked this entryThe thing that makes this book for me are all the literary cameos that pop up on the different levels of hell. Oh, there's Virgil! Hey, Virgil! What are you doing down here? from madmojo i dont talk much so poetry help's people know who i am and how i feel from smiiley_x3 - liked from carlamccoy's entry It's so beyond classic, it's almost ancient. A great book with an epic adventure. I don't know about you, but all of the monsters, greek gods, and drama, set this geek boy over the edge. from madmojo cbellevie - It's beyond me how this wasn't required reading in school.
honestpuck - This and Homer's other, The Iliad. Just read them. Do it now.
janoda - I always preferred the Illiad, but this one is great too!
hawaiianbrat96 - Being an English major, it is a classic I had to have on my book shelf.
pixeljedi - i loved torturing students with this book.
I love poetry, and there is always something on poets.org that either settles me down or stirs me up. Either way, it's a source of inspiration that I couldn't do without. from karoli Online Library classics in real time.Famous Authors such as Agatha Christie,Charles Dickens,Edgar Allan Poe and many more.Poems,Novels and easy to read stories all in one place. from lisasimpkins Maybe I'm biased because this is my website but the World Class Poetry website offers reviews of contemporary poetry books, a toolbar with access to online poetry journals and popular poetry blogs, and a list of publications, plus other great resources for working poets. from allentaylor caribbeancarmel - Nice!
theldp - poetry :) love it, i write it as well
The terms "urban" or "street poetry" cannot capture the visceral brilliance of this great poet. from talsh miahg liked this entrymiahg - very hard to find published poets now-a-days, especially in the urban world.
A collection of over 100 traditional childhood hand-clapping and street rhymes. Ball-bouncing rhymes, counting-out rhymes, and ... from evelynsaenz evelynsaenz - I like to use these rhymes for choral reading during circle time.
This is the sequel to "Little Women", where you find out that Jo and Professor Bhaer have started a school for young boys, often mischievous boys in need. It wasn't nearly as good as "Little Women". from katrina A great site to find Haiku's. Haikus are three phrases with the first line being 5, next 7, and last 5. It is a fun way to express yourself! from katrina caribbeancarmel - As a poet, this was one of the BEST shows ever! I hope HBO / DEF JAM bring this show back. In the mean time, we will continue to enjoy the past episodes!
