Where the Sidewalk Ends - An Original Song
Shel Silverstein
Where the Sidewalks Ends - all Hebrew: Shel
Silverstein shook the staid world of children's poetry in 1974 with
the publication of this collection, and things haven't been the
same since. More than four and a half million copies of Where the
Sidewalk Ends have been sold, making it the bestselling children's
poetry book ever. With this and his other poetry collections (A
Light in the Attic and Falling Up), Silverstein reveals his genius
for reaching kids with silly words and simple pen-and-ink drawings.
What child can resist a poem called "Dancing Pants" or
"The Dirtiest Man in the World"? Each of the 130 poems
is funny in a different way, or touching ... or both. Some approach
naughtiness or are a bit disgusting to squeamish grown-ups, but
that's exactly what kids like best about Silverstein's work. Jim
Trelease, author of The New Read-Aloud Handbook, calls this book
"without question, the best-loved collection of poetry for
children." (Ages 4 to 10)
A Boy Named Shel - The Life and Times of Shel Silverstein-
Few authors are as beloved as Shel Silverstein. His inimitable drawings
and comic poems have become the bedtime staples of millions of children
and their parents, but few readers know much about the man behind
that wild-eyed, bearded face peering out from the backs of dust jackets.
