In Shel Silverstein's picture book, the Missing Piece is a small wedge shape that has been searching for a circle to complete. This time, rather than finding a circle that fits, it meets the Big O, a rounder and more independent figure who has no missing piece and who rolls along without help. The Missing Piece learns to roll too. The pages are drawn in a few clean lines with short text.
It is a book for children and for adults who like gentle parables about independence and relationships. Readers of The Giving Tree will enjoy Silverstein's playful illustration style.
Contemplative; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
