"By myself? A missing piece cannot roll by itself."

I think I love this one even more than I loved The Missing Piece.
How does Shel Silverstein take simple illustrations and sentences, and just create a beautiful story that makes you smile long after you close the book?
I love the message of this story. It's just as important for a child as it is an adult to absorb.

This book- perfect for children and adults- is so great on so many different levels. Although the characters are shapes, Silverstein uses them in a brilliant way to tell a heart-warming story. This book tells the story of a missing piece on a journey to find the shape to make it whole. It is amusing, depressing, magical, and uplifting all at the same time. Children may find the story amusing, but adults may find it also exemplifies the pressure and struggle of finding the perfect partner.
