He brings back fond memories of youth and rhyme. The Giving Tree was the first book I read that touched me on a personal and emotional level. I remember being thoroughly sad at the end, something that had never occurred to me from reading. ( I was probably 5 or 6) For me, I find his poetry ageless; going back to read them 10 years later I still find the same amount of amusement/entertainment if not more. His poems are still amazing and creative, the illustrations captivating and lively.

the giving tree was/is one of my favorite books. shel silverstein was such a talented and unique writer. where the sidewalk ends is a classic and if i ever have children i'll make sure to read his books to them.
