Have you ever read "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein?

Question

If so, are you aware that Shel Silverstein also wrote "On the Cover of the Rolling Stone" for Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show? "Where the Sidewalk Ends". "A Light in the Attic". Sorry. Just going through a nostalgic Shel moment.

Answer 1

Yes. We had to read it every year I was in elementary school. I think there was an animated version of it as well that we watched. At any rate, it was an interesting read that always made me a bit sad.  

Answer 2

Shel was a wonderful dude. I had the pleasure of knowing him, both in New York and later in Key West. He was kind, funny and unpredicatble, just like his books and cartoons.

Answer 3

I think he's a brillant man.
