Where the Sidewalk Ends 30th Anniversary Edition: Poems and Drawings

Including 12 New Poems!

If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer,
A wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er,
A magic bean buyer . . .

Come in . . . for where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silverstein's world begins. You'll 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 Silverstein's masterful collection of poems and drawings is at once outrageously funny and profound.

A treasure

I can't think of a finer book to give a child or and adult who is lucky enough to be a child at heart.

Pre-teens love it

I bought this for our church library, because our copy had been checked out and read so many times it was falling apart. We don't get that much circulation in that library, so this was really something. The same kids - ages 9 to 13 - kept checking it out over and over. That can't be bad!

Where the Sidewalk Ends

There is not much to say about this book except BUY IT! I just purchased this for a friend's daughter who is having a baby. This is a book that should be in every child's library. We have had this book since my eldest son (33 years old) was a small child. It still gives us joy to pick it up and...

Wonderful!

I loved Silverstein's books as a child, my 20 year old daughter loved them as a child and continues to read her own copy to this day, and now I'm giving this book as a gift to a neice that is a wonderful budding poet. There is no substitute for getting children interested in poetry through sheer...
