You& #146; 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 o 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. < P> Shel Silverstein& #146; s masterful collection of poems and drawings is at once outrageously funny and profound. < P>

Okay, I admit it: I?m biased. Where The Sidewalk Ends, by Shel Silverstein, is my absolute, all-time favourite book of poetry, even as an adult. And really, it?s no wonder. After all, even after a lifetime of readings, this book?both its poems and riotous line drawings?is guaranteed to have you wiping tears of laughter from your eyes. Silverstein?s poems run the gamut from utter inanity of the most hilarious sort, to a spot-on insight into the impish workings of a mischievous child?s mind. And yet somehow, he also provides comfort to kids through his familiarity and obvious empathy with the unique quirks of childhood (his Thumbs and Afraid of the Dark were always particular favourites of mine when I was very small). Where The Sidewalk Ends is a crucial addition to every family?s library.

I can still remember in elementary school when our teacher was reading "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout would not take the garbage out..." and how we all laughed and laughed as the mess grew and grew!
What a wonderful book, full of funny and inventive poetry. What a loss it would be if this book was not shared with our children.
Mine have the book and we read it to this day. My kids love the same poems that I love. We love to read them and laugh together.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! In my opinion, no kid in the entire universe should be deprived of the chance to read Shel Silverstein's books of funny poetry. Falling Up and Where the Sidewalk Ends are one of my many personal favorites of all books in the world. They are a must read for any age; young or old.
