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, coming in fall 2017!

Great for Everyone! I loved these poems and a kid and my 4-year old enjoys them now. She “reads” the poems as she lies in bed at night. And, she is able to get a lot of the humor even now. What a great way to introduce kids to poetry and more abstract literature.
A classic and all kids and adults need this! If you didn’t read it as a child, read it now. I’m finishing up reading it to my 5 yr old and he really enjoys it. I think he’ll understand it a bit more when he’s a few yrs older. Silverstein never disappoints.
A Modern Classic Arrived promptly and in good shape. The book itself is a classic and should be a part of all young people’s reading experience. This is a replacement for the one that got lost in the course of a move
