It features illustrations, drawn by the author, for most of the 144 poems. Silverstein dedicated the book to his son, Matthew. It is also the third and final poetry collection by Silverstein in his lifetime, as he died 3 years after Falling Up was released. Falling Up I tripped on my shoelace And I fell up - Up to the rooftops, Up over the town, Up past the tree tops, Up over the mountains, Up where the colors Blend into the sounds.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-04 00:00:00 Richard King Some wonderful gems from this anthology of poems and drawings: FALLING UP I tripped on my shoelace And I fell up-- Up to the roof tops, Up over the town, Up past the tree tops, Up over the mountains, Up where the colors Blend into the sounds. But it got me so dizzy When I looked around, I got sick to my stomach And I threw down. WOULDA-COULDA-SHOULDA All the Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas Layin' in the sun, Talkin' 'bout the things They woulda-coulda-shoulda done... But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas All ran away and hid From one little did. SHARING I'll share your toys, I'll share your money, I'll share your toast, I'll share your honey, I'll share your milk and your cookies too -- The hard part's sharing mine with you. KEEP-OUT HOUSE At last--I finished my keep-out house, A house that's meant for privacy, A house that's meant for peacefulness, A house just meant for only me. There is no door where strangers knock, No window where they peek and grin. A perfect private keep-out house... Now...how do I get in? THREE STINGS George got stung by a bee and said, "I wouldn't have got stung if I'd stayed in bed." Fred got stung and we heard him roar, "What am I being punished for?" Lew got stung and we heard him say, "I learned somethin' about bees today." HELP! I walked through the wildwood, and what did I see But a unicorn with his horn stuck in a tree, Cryin', "Someone please help me before it's too late." I hollered, "I'll free you." He hollered back, "Wait-- How much will it hurt? How long will it take? Are you sure that my horn will not scratch, bend, or break? How hard will you pull? How much must I pay? Must you do it right now or is Wednesday okay? Have you done this before? Do you have the right tools? Have you graduated from horn-savin' school? Will I owe you a favor? And what will it be? Do you promise that you will not damage the tree? Should I close my eyes? Should I sit down or stand? Do you have insurance? Have you washed your hands? And after you free me--tell me what then? Can you guarantee I won't get stuck again? Tell me when. Tell me how. Tell me why. Tell me where...." I guess that he's still sitting' there.
