The Missing Piece submitted by SBNB on July 2, 2012, 6:38pm This isn't a book of poems like some of Shel Silverstein's other books. Instead, it's a story about a circle looking for its missing piece. It's short, but it's a very cute story.

fun book submitted by nsfulcher on June 18, 2017, 10:58am It is funny. All different kinds of shapes. It is silly and worth reading over and over and over and over again.

My favorite Shel Silverstein book! submitted by TeacherN on August 9, 2019, 7:30pm This book and The Missing Piece Meets the Big O are my two favorite Shel Silverstein books. I have read them with my son, with my students - young and old, and just to myself. It's such an important message for all.
