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.

From: Amazon Posted: May 15, 2008 Type: User Review This book is the first I ever read

I love the poems and would walk around reading them to whoever would listen. It helped me a lot, as I had learning disabilities. Shel Silversteins rhymes are delightful. I bought copies to give to friend's children...

Lately I have been purchasing books for my 9 month old baby. I want her to enjoy reading as much as I do, and have been collecting books that I loved growing up. As soon as I saw this book, I knew I had to have it. She is still a little young to...

My five year old cannot get enough of Shel Silverstein. He reads 10 or more poems out loud every day and has memorized several of them. This is our favorite collection of poems. They are funny, clever, imaginative. Even the illustrations are...

I thought it was a great book, with hilarious poems, sad poems, and strange poems. I think Shel Silverstein is a great and creative writer. I especially liked the funny poetry. I was always anxious to read the next poem. The book was very easy...

I loved this book when I was a child and still do. My kids really like it too. The only thing I want to note, being a mother of two young kids (2 and 4) is that the pictures and some of the content can be just the tiniest bit harsh for the...

My father read this to me as a child. I begged for it every night. He had voices for many of the characters. I still read them with a hint of his voice and with his rhythm. I share them with my students on a regular basis. I just can't wait...

From: Amazon Posted: Feb 09, 2008 Type: User Review Still fun to read

I remember reading this book as a child and was excited to get it for my own children to enjoy. The poems are silly and creative with great pictures. It's nice because you can only read a few at a time to sneak in some reading to the day. My 18...
