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.

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)
