Publisher's Note

It was missing a piece.
And it was not happy.
So it set off in search
of its missing piece.
And as it rolled
it sang this song-

Oh I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
I'm lookin' for my missin' pieceHi-dee-ho, here I go,
Lookin' for my missin' piece.

What it finds on its search for the missing piece is simply and touchingly told in this fable that gently probes the nature of quest and fulfillment.



What the circle finds on its search for the missing piece is simply and touchingly told in a fable that gently probes the nature of quest and fulfillment. "Few artists have put so much verve and meaning into simple lines and circles as Shel Silverstein."--"Publishers Weekly."

Industry Reviews

    I love Shel Silverstein's books. He was a genius who captured life's experiences in what appear, at first glance, to be simple children's stories.

    The Missing Piece is a story about a circle with a missing piece. The circle seeks out it's missing piece and tries on a few to find they do not fit. Along the way, the circle discovers it's enjoys many things about the world with or without it's missing piece.

    This simple story has many laughs but teaches a valuable lesson to our children.
