| 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, 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 120) |
