| | Description:
Shel Silverstein shook the staid world of children's poetry in 1974 with the publication of this collection, and things haven't been the same since. More than four and a half million copies of Where the Sidewalk Ends have been sold, making it the bestselling children's 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 that's exactly what kids like best about Silverstein's 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) | |  | | Similar Products

This book inspired me to start reading more when I was a child! I have since introduced this book to adults, teenagers and children and all have enjoyed it. Most folks go and buy their own copies including a 15 year old boy who didn't enjoy reading anything except comic books! So, no matter the age, pick up the book...you will enjoy it! | | Where the Sidewalk Ends
Bought this book at the flea market for 25 cents - is from Lock Haven State College in New Haven, Pa. and has Shel's printed autograph - Is a first edition in fairly great shape but surprised me because it said child's book and yet was a college library book. Anyway, read it and must admit that even at 65, the whimsey and fun of his writing is wonderful. Would love to have had something like this when I was growing up as I am an avid reader. If it is well written, I will read it and this book is definitely in that category. I recommend it to anyone who has a love of the fanciful and especially to children. :-) | | Where the Sidewalk Ends: Poems and Drawings
Fabulous! No child should grow up without this book. Shel Silverstein had the imagination of a child and an inspired ability to express it. If you are too old to have owned this book as a child, get one; and read it to a child. You will find yourself wanting to read every last poem. |
