Rating: Summary: The Sidewalk Will Never End Review: I remember reciting "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout" in front of my class when I was a child. From that moment on, I was forever a fan.I do not have all of his books, but I plan on completing my collection soon, and I urge everyone to do the same. Mr. Silverstein will be missed, but thankfully his creative genius will forever live on in his works.
Rating: Summary: Everyone should own this... Review: If I could recommend one book to a child that would help to maximize imagination, I would recommend this one. I grew up with Shel SIlverstein and as a 22 year old Loan officer in Washington DC, still have his books on my shelf, right next to all my other books. I cherish the memories I have of reading his books in my room, laying on the carpet. Thanks, Shel. You were one of the Missing Pieces I was lucky enough to pick up. Dominic Turano
Rating: Summary: A great book for everyone! Review: I think Silverstein did an excellent job with this book. It is unfortunate that we have lost Shel, recently. This book is a classic. As a kid when you read it, you have had the same feelings and thoughts as the poems express. This is an excellent book for young children, and adults.
Rating: Summary: Some memories for Uncle Shel Review: Today I heard Shel died, and it certainly is affecting me. I read all of his books when I was younger, and even recently warned my 5 year-old niece she'd turn into a TV from watching too much. Reading his poems today makes me cry, they are so funny and touching and true. We will miss you, Uncle Shel. Thank you for your wonderful work.
Rating: Summary: It's a silly, good-natured, and fun read. Review: I have been reading Shel Silverstein books since I was a kid and have always gotten joy from them. The Giving Tree is one of my favorites books of all time.Where the Sidewalk Ends and all of his poetry books are great fun. He will be missed not only in the literary world, but in all of the world.
Rating: Summary: I liked this book as much as my l0-year-old did. Review: I just get turned on to Mr. Silverstein's books then he has to leave this world. Thank you, Mr. Silverstein for leaving so many of your gifts behind.
Rating: Summary: You are never to old or too young for Shel Silverstein. Review: I purchased a copy of this book for a baby shower present some years ago and have continued that tradition ever since. One can never be too young or too old for Uncle Shel. He brings out this kid in all of us. Highly recommended for ages 0 to 100+.
Rating: Summary: Very enjoyable, kids love it. He's such a great writer!!!!!! Review: When I saw his books I loved it! I read almost all of Shel's books. He writes in a way that can cheer everybody up at anytime
Rating: Summary: CHILDRENS POETRY FOR GROWN-UPS Review: I found this book by accident in a Florida airport. I knew Shel for his HUNGRY MUNGRY poem, so I had to buy the book for my daughter. It has given us all, me in particular, many happy hours. His sense of humour is our sense of humour. None of his books are available in Britain, despite a wide search, but we managed to obtain Lafcadio, The Giving Tree, Missing Piece, and Light in the Attic....all giving us a wonderful escape into fantasy but with an insistence that we look at ourselves more deeply. Keep writing Shel, and send your books over here please so we can buy more!
Rating: Summary: I don't like it to much Review: I don't think this book belongs in the 9-12 age group. I think it is for younger children, as other SIlverstein books are too. Some of the poems don't make any sence, and some aren't that great. I think 10+ dollars is to much money for this book.
