Oh man! Shell was my favorite poet when I was a little guy.

Thanks so much for making this! It's awesome! :)

I fondly remember most of his work, especially "Bear in There" which I had to recite in grade school.

Excellent art :)

Curious about who this Tanake Trang is?

Shel Silverstein!

I still read Where the Sidewalk Ends and The Giving Tree on a regular basis. Along with William Steig and Roald Dahl, he pretty much made my literary childhood.

I can't tell you how much I love this piece. Your likenesses are so adorable and totally fit the whimsy of his poetry.

Instant favorite, no question.

My wife was reading his biography the other day.

Excellent work.
