It was missing a piece. And it was not happy. So it set off in search of its missing piece. And as it rolled it sang this song -Oh I''m lookin'' for my missin'' piece I''m lookin'' for my missin'' piece Hi-dee-ho, here I go, Lookin'' for my missin'' piece. What it finds on its search for the missing piece is simply and touchingly told in this fable that gently probes the nature of quest and fulfillment.

If you had a giraffe and he stretched another half … you would have a giraffe and a half.

The missing piece sat alone waiting for someone to come along and take it somewhere.... The different ones it encounters - and what it discovers in its helplessness - are portrayed with simplicity and compassion in the words and drawings of Shel Silverstein.
