by Shel Silverstein
The Missing Piece is another fantastic work by the author Shel Silverstein. This book is about a circle who was missing a piece, so he slowly rolled about the land looking for a piece to complete him. In this text, there is discussion of independence and belongingness. I would use this book in my cl...
I first came across this book years ago while I was scanning through the aisles of the then newly-opened PowerBooks store in Greenbelt Makati. I had not read a single children's book for quite some time as my interest in them had waned already, so it was quite a surprise for me to find my...
