Summary: very imaginative
Review: Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends book of poems and drawings is amusing and very imaginative. It is as if he has retained the imagination of a five-year-old child and possibly taken all the nagging why questions from that age and answered them with incredibly outrageous stories.
The poems contain some near rhyme and onomatopoeia. The book is written for the young at heart and possibly for those who need to learn to lighten up. Expounding on simple childhood incidences and thoughts is the theme.
Some of my favorites are "enter this deserted house" it takes a frightening place and makes it like a walk in a meadow, "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout would not take the garbage out," "the unicorn," "no difference." They are all fun and light hearted.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still a great book after all these years
Review: This was my favorite book as a kid. I just bought my nephew a copy and I had to read it all over again before I could give it to him! A classic that no child should be without!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: still a great book
Review: I loved this book when I was a kid (20 years ago) and now my 4 year old is carrying on the tradition. It is a great way to introduce poetry to the younger crowd.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Favorite Story is Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout
Review: My favorite story is Sarah, Cynthia, Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out written by Shel Silverstein. It is about a girl who would not take the garbage out so it got so full and yucky she ran away. My favorite part is when the garbage touched the sky. I really think you should read this story. By Audra

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Favorite Story
Review: My favorite story is True Story in Where the Sidewalk Ends. It is about a man who dies at the end of the story. My favorite part is when he steps in quicksand and he won't be able to get out. I like it because it is very funny. You must read it! By Kyle

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Kids love it, adults love it- I love it!
Very clever and brings you back into the childlike magical frame of mind, when you would just laugh at something because it's silly, but it's also bright and intelligent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Childrens book on the market!!!
Review: I was introduced to Shel Silverstein's book when I was in the 4th grade. This has been my favorite book since and after 25 years I still find enjoyment reading the poems. I am most happy that I can share this book of poems with my 5 year old daughter and hope she finds the same enjoyment I found.

This book is highly recommended not only for the poems, but for the illustrations too! The pictures are humorous and will keep any child entertained for years.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: May that sidewalk never end...
Review: Children have treasured Silverstein's poems and illustrations for over 25 years now. He has a way of appealing to the sense of humor of most people. The surprise ending is also a common element that keeps the reader interested. His poems range in style from simple one-line jokes, to narrative epics with a repeating chorus. The illustrations, like the poems, are sparse and very simple. The entire work has a feeling of incompleteness with the vast expanses of white space left on the pages. The voids in the book are meant to be filled by the reader's experience with the poems and illustrations. Everyone will bring something different to these poems and will therefore be effected in a different way. The page design and illustrations of Silverstein not only allow that interaction between book and reader, but also encourage it.

Why 5 stars?:
The simplicity of Silverstein's words and illustrations appeal to every reader, not just children. They show how reading can be interesting and interactive. Everybody can find a favorite little verse from this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The book review of Where the Sidewalk Ends (good)
Review: Where the Sidewalk Ends is a funny poetry book by Shel Silverstein. Many of Shel Silversteins books are funny. In the specific book the poets main topic is about summer. some of the poems in this book include "Tree House", "Jumping Rope", and "Homemade Boat". One reason that i liked this book was that all of the poems are funny and weird. This makes the book greater for little kids. Another reason that i liked this book was that it was mostly about summer. Too me, summer is the best season because of summer vacation. A third reason why i liked this book was because of the crazy vocabulary. Some of his words, like "Ickle", you can use in everyday life. The final reason why i liked this book was very simple... i like poem books. Poem books are a very unique way of writing. They let you say whatever you want to say, and in what ever way you want to say it. You could even write about Little Red Riding Hood if you wanted to.

This book is aimed more towards younger children because some of the rhymes might be core appealing (or funnier) too younger kids. This is a good beginner poem book. this book isn't very long and it is filled with hilarious little poems and whatnot. it is a good book and you should go read it!
