| <b>Shel Silverstein</b> is responsible for many beloved, if some controversial, children's books. He is perhaps best known for his collections of children's poetry, <i>Where the sidewalk ends</i> and <i>A light In The Attic</i>, books which have the distinction of incredibly long stays on the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller list. Silverstein also penned the children's classic <i>The Giving Tree</i>, which has provoked responses ranging from a ministers' praise for its example of Christian altruism to a feminists' complaints that it glorifies the exploitation of women. In addition to his work for children, Silverstein has served as a longtime <i>Playboy</i> cartoonist since 1956, has written several plays for adults, and has penned and recorded country and novelty songs such as "A boy named Sue" (for Johnny Cash) and "Sylvia's mother" (for Dr. Hook).
