Where the Sidewalk Ends

Where the Sidewalk Ends is where dreams begin. Dreams of magic, acrobats, pancakes, Captain Hook, snowmen, and never taking the garbage out. Dream of Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too, who “went for a ride in a flying shoe” and Jimmy Jet, who watches so much TV, he turns into a TV set. As the Los Angeles Times says, “Silverstein’s punch lines will hit you every time—in the heart, the head, and the humerus!” (All ages)

great children's classic!
November 07, 2009

This book has become THE classic poetry book in our home. It taught my children to read through its poetry and rhyme, and now my grandchildren are discovering this crazy madman and his hilarious poems. They adore the funny and usually odd themes that keep them coming back for more. They are even memorizing their favorite poems. Anyone who loves reading will love "Uncle Shelby" and his wild collection of zany prose.

I puchased the set of the Shel Silverstein books together. Loved these books as a child and am looking forward to enjoying them with my children. Until my 3 year old shows interest...I will just enjoy them. :)

This has been a favorite of mine since I was a child. I purchased this book for my 5 year old daughter and she loves them. This will be a classic for many more years to come. I recommend this book for a child for any ages.

Silverstein's poetry is awesome
November 12, 2008

I own almost every single work Silverstein has done and his series of poetry is perhaps the reason I love his books. They are a great way to introduce children to poetry and to get them to enjoy it, because often poetry can be vague, abstract, and hard to follow for young readers. However, Silverstein's istn't and it's humorous and loveable. It's deffiantly a must have for your child's library!

were the sidewalk ends
April 20, 2008

I love the book were the sidewalk ends. I love Shel Silverstein’s poems. They are brilliant. I think his poems are witty, silly, and funny. I especially enjoy the poems were he ends it with a surprise. I think those ones are the best. I like to snuggle up in my couch and read all his poems from his tongue twister to his short but sweet poems. I really enjoy the twists at the end of his poems like in the poem “standing”. I think it’s cool how he says all the things that the person in the poem is doing then adds a funny line at the end that twists the story around. Another poem that I think was very clever and funny was “the silver fish” once again this poem has a last line that twists around the poem and it just made me laugh when I read it. I like the poem “the fourth” also, because of the visualization. He has an awesome description about fireworks on the fourth of July, but shel doesn’t just say there fireworks you must interpret it. Don’t you agree this book is good?
