Summary: I won't grow up!!!
Review: I'm 31 years old, and was searching for some funny poetry in the book store. After skimming 30-page poems, love sonnets, and man's searches for meaning, I marched straight to the kiddie section and found this clever compilation. You need not be a child to fully enjoy Silverstein's warmth, wit and wisdom. I will share these poems with all of my grown-up friends!

Summary: My 9 year old daughter adores this book
Review: She found it in the English part of her school library about 6 months ago and loved it for a week (deadline). We live in France at present so a wide selection of English books at reasonable prices are not available . . . Until I joined AMAZON.COM, of course. I gave her the book yesterday and she hasn't been able to put it down yet. She read my wife and I to sleep with it last night.

Summary: One of my all-time favorite books!
Review: As a young child, my school was next door to the public library. I must have checked this book out once every 6 months. Recently I purchased the Hardback edition of it so that I can share it with my son who is now 6 and learning to read. I hope the delightful humor of this book encourage him to love reading as much as I do. It is such a fun book - for children of ALL ages!

Summary: A creative, fun look at poetry!
Review: This book is a good-spirited masterpiece, with wonderful poems that kids of all ages will enjoy. Light-hearted, sometimes downright hilarious pictures accompany each poem, and the drawings are sometimes the plot of the joke. The poetry in "Where the Sidewalk Ends" ranges in length from two or three lines to twenty or more. This is a delightful book to read a few poems out of each night to your little ones before bed.

Review: I bought this book for my daughter but could not put it down. I continued to read it long after she fell asleep. Up until the wee hours of the night I found myself laughing out loud. Can't wait to read other books by Shel Silverstein.

Summary: An amazing reading experience
Review: As an amateur writer, i find As the Side Walk ends an amazing piece of writing. To write those poems you need an imagination, and boy does Shel Silverstien have that. My uncle gifted that book to me five years ago and i still find my self flipping throung the pages with the same enjoyment and awe!!

Summary: Classic to fantastic, poetry for the young at heart!
Review: I was an avid Shel Silverstein reader as a child; and this book was always my favorite. I was so surprized when I came home one day and my step-brother had taken this book out of library and hid it under his bed because he did not want to bring it back. For someone who would never sit down and read a whole story, this was the first book that he wanted to read again and again. Where the Sidewalk Ends not only appeals to the new generation of readers; but it also touches something in the hearts of those who have loved the simple, humorous side of life through the years.
