Where the Sidewalk Ends 30th Anniversary Edition: Poems and Drawings Review
Including 12 New Poems!
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. User Submitted Where the Sidewalk Ends 30th Anniversary Edition: Poems and Drawings ReviewsNovember 23, 2008 Great Book! A great book of poems for your kids and nostalgia from your childhood. I read them to my 22 month old twins and they love it. October 7, 2008 Heart and humor A completely magical collection! The imagination and wit of Shel Silverstein never ceases to amaze me as he does anything to make kids laugh (and, to my eternal gratitude) educate them. Make no mistake, the man is too intelligent to be just silly. There is intelligence to each and every poem, even if it is ust the word structure. As a teacher, I best appreciate this due to the different ages it reaches. I found myself reading my class one poem only to end if half way do to semi-mature content (come on, it's first grade, they can't hear everything). Shel Silverstein is the Man. October 5, 2008 Where the Sidewalk Ends 30th Anniversary Edition poems and drawings Where the Sidewalk Ends 30th Anniversary Edition poems and drawings my children loves it and i would tell everyone to read it. September 23, 2008 Great Great Childrens Book I purchased this book for my grandchildren. I enjoyed reading this book my children, they loved it. I can't wait to reread it to little loves!It is the greatest don't hesitate to purchase it for your little ones! September 22, 2008 wonderfuly fond I find this book to be wonderful in ways I don't have words for, my grandmother read me this book when i was young enough to not know how to read it to myself, and it has remained my favorite ever since, ( I'm 25 now ) its interesting to see the differences between having it read to me back then and reading it now. I see the ramifications of some of the poems now, that i of course missed as a child, things like no more war, and love for everyone, truly one of the best books of all time September 10, 2008 Heart warming A collection of poems unlike any others. Many times I can't understand the poems I read and it is frustrating, but not with this one. I actually enjoyed it and would recommend it to any parent. Great book. Anna del C. Author of "The Elf and the Princess" and "Trouble in the Elf City" The Elf and The Princess: The Silent Warrior Trilogy - Book One (The Silent Warrior Trilogy) September 10, 2008 Good Book,Not for Kids Though The poems are very well written, however, one poem actually talks about multiple personalities so I think, there a little bit inappropriate for children. May 15, 2008 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... May 4, 2008 4th Grade Class Top Ten Winner Our review is for the book Where The Sidewalk Ends. The author and illustrator is Shel Silverstein. The gernre is funny poetry. This is one of the many great poetry books Shel Silverstein wrote. If you love amusing books and you love poetry then you'll love Where The Side Walks Ends. There are humorous long poems like Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take The Garbage Out or short ones like warning or hat. If you want to hear more terrific poems you'll have to read it. It's a good one I promise. Shel Silverstein wants us to laugh and have fun. Don't be up tight be able to laugh your head off. It's on our 4th grade class's top ten because the poems are hilariously funny. I'm sure you'll agree when you read it. May 1, 2008 Walk Down Memory Lane 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 truly appreciate it, but I am having a blast reading the poems that I enjoyed as I child. Definitely a "must have" for everyone. For more Where the Sidewalk Ends 30th Anniversary Edition: Poems and Drawings reviews click here.
