Overview

Shel Silverstein, the New York Times bestselling author of The Giving Tree, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, and Every Thing On It, has created a poetry collection that is outrageously funny and deeply profound. Come in...for where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silverstein's world begins. This special edition contains 12 extra poems.

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 stretches the bounds of imagination and will be cherished by readers of all ages. This is a collection that belongs on everyone's bookshelf. Makes a great gift for special occasions such as holidays, birthdays, and graduation.

And don't miss Runny Babbit Returns, the new book by Shel Silverstein

  • WONDERFUL!

    Sarah C. - 5 years 6 months ago

    This book taught me to fall in love with poetry, before I knew what I was reading was "poetry!" Silverstein has written and doodled his way into my heart forever, and these verses are ones I can return to again and again as I age, finding new joy in meaning in them each time.

  • Hilarious, Inspirational, Slightly Dark

    McKenzie R. - 5 years 6 months ago

    I am so glad I finally got around to reading this book of poems. The poems included were very diverse. Most were silly, some were hilarious, a few were inspirational, and some were just a bit too dark for my taste in children's poetry. Overall a good book with interesting poems and great illustrations. No wonder this is such a classic. #BannedBook
