Editor’s note Where the Sidewalk Ends (1974), his first collection of funny poems and drawings for children, is his best-rated book; A Light in the Attic is close behind. The Giving Tree is the most-read, and its story about a tree that gives everything divides adult readers more than children. Falling Up rates lowest.
