Summary: Simple is good!
Review: A fantastic read! It's just amazing how the author had managed to refine the lessons about life into the story of 'the Missing Piece', in such a simple yet clarified way. This book always reminds me of the proverb "a picture speaks a thousand words". If I have to explain to someone about life, I would always prefer this book over to such other title as 'Chicken Soup for the ...', etc ;)

Summary: Get it with "The Missing Piece Meets The Big O"!
Review: I bought this book along with "The Missing Piece Meets The Big O" almost 10 years ago, when I was in college. My friend introduced me to those books, and I had to get my own copies. In fact, a good number of people among my circle of friends got their own copies as well.I think those two books are the only "children's books" I have in my possession, but they are among the most touching and most memorable of all the books I own and read. And even though they're labeled as children's books (and they sure look that way too), I feel they're a better fit (haha, no pun intended) for grown-ups. If you plan on getting this book (as you well should), then definitely get "The Missing Piece Meets The Big O" as well. I don't think the story and the message of The Missing Piece fable is complete with just one book. You gotta get both books to fully appreciate it. Highest utmost recommendations. God, I love this book.

Summary: Don't Miss This Piece.
Review: Oh Shel Silverstein i love this book. Reading this book would probably just take 5 minutes of your time. I guess many people can relate himself to this story and I guarantee that a lot of them would be hit right there in the bulls eye of their hearts. Searching for your missing piece is tough. You keep on rolling then on by but sometimes finding it doesn't make us complete nor happy. The quest is infinite, but when you ignore the things that completes you and makes you happy each day, you keep on missing a piece each day. This book has its niche to those people who can appreciate very stylistic combination of a written and visually arresting piece. In my own artistic judgment the illustration is wonderfully executed because it matches the simplicity of the story. Not much complication in terms of comprehending both the visual and the written. Many peolpe in the world I'll bet would embrace the book because of the beautiful lesson it brings. Allow yourself to be the next target for it will surely hit you. Bulls eye!

Summary: Silverstein's Guidebook for Being a Person.
Review: Once, when I was a very young boy, I had the privilege of experiencing Shel Silverstein reading this guidebook to personhood at the Chicago Public Library. At the time, I appreciated it as a story about a Pac-Man figure, (Which was my primary focus at the time), who couldn't find "a missing piece." As I have grown now, in age, intellect, character, loss, and all other forms of life experience, I understand so much more what he was really trying to say to us. He was speaking, in very clear terms about all that is good and beautiful about realizing the worth of one's self, in a simple manner that we will understand well into senescence as well as we understood it in our youth. In summation...purchase this book, share it with those that you love, and most importantly, understand it for yourself. Peace be with you.

Summary: Simple yet so meaningful
Review: Shel Silverstein can say more with a few words and a few lines than someone with all of the vocabulary and artistic mediums of the universe. This simple book carries a beautiful message about the search for fullfillment. Don't let the label of "children's book" turn you away... The Missing Piece and it's sequel The Missing Piece Meets The Big O are brilliant books dealing with this journey we call life. Enchanting and moving.

Summary: The Missing Piece
Review: Shel Silverstein has done it again! Every book I have read of his has intrigued me. This is a great story about a lonely circle that is missing a piece. He is sad because of this and searches for his piece. He searches high and low. He does not realize that he is happy without his piece....You should find out why by reading The Missing Piece. It demonstrates well that u can be happy without having everything you want. You just need to find it in yourself.
