Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein (2004, Hardcover, Anniversary)

I read this book as a child when I was introduced to it by a teacher. I begged my dad for all of Shel Silverstein's books. When I saw that Where The Sidewalk Ends had an anniversary addition, I HAD to have it! This is a fabulous book to get children to read. Short and fun poem with cute pictures make it an easy read! It is weird that I read these poems over 20 years ago and I still remember most of the words to all of the poems. A favorite of mine that I hope becomes a favorite of yours!

Wonderful book for children (and adults) of all ages to appreciate the messages of...written beautifully, it will make you laugh, it will make you cry. Silverstein is a true artist.

This was one of my favorite books when I was younger. I checked it out, like the other kids, because of the poem "US", in which a two-headed man talks about the tribulations of being attached to someone else (and uses the word "pee"). Once I made it past the shock value, I found that I loved the poems in the book because they were so silly and fun. I subsequently checked out the other volumes--including A Light in the Attic, which contains poems just as good as the first book. For a real treat, find the CD that goes along with this book. It has some of Shel Silverstein's recordings on it. Toddlers and kids of all ages love reading this book.

THANKS,

NICE TO ADD TO OUR COLLECTION OF HIS BOOKS.
THEY ARE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF WRITINGS.
THEY ARE WONDERFUL WRITING AND OUR FAMILY ENJOY
VERY MUCH!

I grew up with this book and I am so happy that my young sisters can as well. This book encapsulates our youth into an immortal antiquity that generation after generation will enjoy.

A boy who turns into a TV set and a girl who eats a whale are only two of the characters in a collection of humorous poetry illustrated with the author's own drawings.

This book is a "must have" for those with young children since most children will love the funny poems. It is also a treasure for adults who love poetry since it is insightful and thought provoking.

I read the works of Shel Silverstein when I was in grade school, and have been looking for an affordable copy to add to my collection. It's usually upwards of $28 in a book store, so I was delighted to find it here so affordable. Highly recommend anyone collecting remnents of their childhood.

A classic children's book, perfect for young children who enjoy using their imaginations during story time.

WANTED TO BUY TO BOOK FOR MY GRAND-DAUGHTER, FOR CHRISTMAS, BUT I NEVER GOT THE BOOK, AND HAD TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY MONEY BACK. THE SELLER HAD EXCELLENT FEEDBACK, BUT DECIDED TO STIFF ME. I ENDED UP BUYING THE BOOK FROM BORDERS BOOK STORE.

This book is in MINT, Looks new, condition!!! The price was right! I am a teacher and I purchased it to use in teaching a poetry unit. I would definitely buy from this SUPER seller again!
