Rating: Summary: A Great Read For Any Occasion! Review: Shel Silverstein does it again. This time with "Where the Sidewalk Ends". A great compelation of poems that will have you laughing throughout the day. When I first picked this book up, I couldn't put it down for its gripping the reader techniques with such humorous poems.With characters in his poems ranging from any animal to any human, this book definitely has variety. I love the way Shel is able to rhyme things together and come up with such great stories in his poems......this is very evident in this book. Most of th peoms run about half a page, some long, some short. All of course, though, have humor and really show the work put in to them. This poem book is one of Silverstein's finest and deserves some sort of award. I want to thank Shel Silverstein for creating such a wonderful poem book and such great ideas that make you want to read the whole book in one sitting. That would definitely take time though it would be worth it. As you can see, I really recommend anyone of any age buying this book so they can enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you for reading my review and have a nice day!!
Rating: Summary: Everyone loves to read poems Review: I bought this book for my daughter who was 10 at the time, she read them and just put it away on her shelf- she is now 14 and she still loves to take the book out and read a happy poem from
Shel Silverstein. It can put a smile on a face sometime when
things get you down.
The poems in this book are fun, cute and give you the "warm fuzzies"

Rating: Summary: the best book ever Review: Silverstein's poems may not be beautiful or thought-provoking. In fact, they are a bit on the strange side. I have first gotten this book in first grade, and I have read it many times. A great poem that I would recommend is 'The Crocodile and the Dentist' (I believe that is the correct title of it). If you're a parent, take time to read this with your children. Both of you will enjoy the creative and funny poems by Shel Silverstein.
Rating: Summary: Timeless Review: I first heard the poems from "Where the sidewalk ends" from my middle school teacher (how was the librarian) and that was over seventeen years ago. When I saw it at my local bookstore I had to get it for my two boys and read to them with the same enthusiasm as my middle school teacher. It was and still is a big hit. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY KIDS BOOK COLLECTION ;o)
