Synopsis:
Where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silverstein's world begins. There 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 is one of Parent & Child magazine's 100 Greatest Books for Kids. School Library Journal said, "Silverstein has an excellent sense of rhythm and rhyme and a good ear for alliteration and assonance that make these poems a pleasure to read aloud."

Review:
I want to buy this so I can add it to my daughter's book collection. I had so much fun and so many laughs reading this! I just think this would be a great way to introduce her to poetry and it's something she can truly grow up with. My favorite poems were Smart, which made me laugh so hard, and Peanut-Butter Sandwich, which made me shake my head. These were really cute poems and they were also poems, in my opinion, that would make children think about the consequences of their actions, which is ultimately awesome! I definitely would recommend this as a great read to have story time with as well as a fun read for older audiences, such as myself. Happy readings guys!
