Review Shel Silverstein shook the staid world of childrens poetry in 1974 with the publication of this collection, and things havent been the same since. More than four and a half million copies of Where the Sidewalk Ends have been sold, making it the bestselling childrens poetry book ever. With this and his other poetry collections (A Light in the Attic and Falling Up), Silverstein reveals his genius for reaching kids with silly words and simple pen-and-ink drawings. What child can resist a poem called Dancing Pants or The Dirtiest Man in the World? Each of the 130 poems is funny in a different way, or touching ... or both. Some approach naughtiness or are a bit disgusting to squeamish grown-ups, but thats exactly what kids like best about Silversteins work. Jim Trelease, author of The New Read-Aloud Handbook, calls this book without question, the best-loved collection of poetry for children. (Ages 4 to 10) Shel Silverstein, the New York Times bestselling author of The Giving Tree, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, and Every Thing On It, has created a poetry collection that is outrageously funny and deeply profound. Come in . . . for where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silversteins world begins. Youll meet a boy who turns into a TV set, and a girl who eats a whale. The Unicorn and the Bloath live there, and so does Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout who will not take the garbage out. It is a place where you wash your shadow and plant diamond gardens, a place where shoes fly, sisters are auctioned off, and crocodiles go to the dentist. Shel Silversteins masterful collection of poems and drawings stretches the bounds of imagination and will be cherished by readers of all ages. This is a collection that belongs on everyones bookshelf. Makes a great gift for special occasions such as holidays, birthdays, and graduation.
