Descripción: Amazon.com ReviewAmazon Exclusive: A Q&A with Toni Markiet, Shel Silverstein’s Longtime EditorQ: What was the first book you worked with Shel Silverstein on?Markiet: The first book was The Missing Piece in 1976. I was the assistant to his editor at that time, Edite Kroll. Was I lucky!Q: What was his creative process like and how did you two work together?Markiet: I remember most clearly that Shel was meticulous in every aspect of a book... the trim size, the paper, the binding and of course, the contents. No piece of the whole was too small to consider carefully. He looked at every spread to be sure art and text were positioned the best way possible. And, he considered every word and expression until it, and the whole text, was just right. I learned how a book is made in the best possible way.Q:Shel passed away in 1999 but more than ten years later you’re publishing Every Thing On It, which includes tons of his never-before-seen poems and drawings. Can you tell us how this project came to be?Markiet:Over the years, Shel continued to write and draw and work on poems. He left a rich archive of finished material. In the past few years, the Silverstein family has allowed us to unveil some of these in special editions of both Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic. The response was so amazing that the family felt it was now the right time to publish this book.Q:What is your favorite poem from Every Thing On It?Markiet:This is an almost impossible question to answer but if pressed, I will say “Mer-Maid.”From New York Times bestselling Shel Silverstein, celebrated creator of Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, and Falling Up, comes an amazing collection of never-before-published poems and drawings.Have you ever read a book with everything on it? Well, here it is! You will say Hi-ho for the toilet troll, get tongue-tied with Stick-a-Tongue-Out-Sid, play a highly unusual horn, and experience the joys of growing down.What's that? You have a case of the Lovetobutcants? Impossible! Just come on in and let the magic of Shel Silverstein bend your brain and open your heart.And don't miss Runny Babbit Returns, the new book from Shel Silverstein!Review"Adults who grew up with Uncle Shelby will find themselves wiping their eyes by the time they get to the end of this collection; children new to the master will find themselves hooked." — Kirkus Reviews"...Chockfull of the whimsical humor, eccentric characters, childhood fantasies, and iconoclastic glee that [Silverstein's] many fans adore...The volume includes some of Silverstein's strongest work, brilliantly capturing his versatility and topsy-turvy viewpoint." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)"'Every Thing on It' is bound to give a thrill to new young readers – while providing a time-travel experience for their parents who probably first read 'The Giving Tree' and Silverstein's other books years ago and were changed by them." — Los Angeles Times"A multigenerational book for fun in family spaces." — Chicago TribuneBook DescriptionShel Silverstein, beloved author of the acclaimed and bestselling poetry collections Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, and Falling Up, will have a brand-new book of poetry published by HarperCollins Children’s Books in September 2011.
