The Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein
Why it’s cool!
My teacher read the book to our class and everyone loved it!
I also borrowed the book from the school library. I was sad when I had to return the book, but then my mom and I found it on YouTube.
I like to read along and there was someone playing the piano. The music went along with the story. When it was happy, the music was happy. When it was sad, the music was also sad.
I can’t wait until my parents get me my own copy of The Missing Piece.
Is it entertaining, educational or a little of both?
The Missing Piece is very educational. I learned that sometimes going slow is good. This is because you have time to smell flowers, talk to worms, and have butterflies sit on you. It’s fun to go fast, but not always.
It is also good to try different things, and then you can see what fits or doesn’t fit.
I also learned that it is good to keep going. When you keep going, you can learn more things.
