Title: “Diving Board”
Book: Falling Up
Author: Shel Silverstein
You are on top of a diving board making certain everything about it is just right. The only thing that is left to be done is to dive off of the board.
The poem is humorous and has some words that rhyme. Children can relate to the poem if they have been afraid of jumping off of the diving board for the first time. Silverstein really catches the experience. The illustration matches the poem and is an ink drawing.
