Imaginitive and Inspiring August 9, 2007
I got this book for my son for his 4th birthday and it is probably his favorite book. He loves picking out poems to read at bedtime and memorizing and reciting the poems during playtime. I personally think that the poems have a quite adult-comedy to them but still they are immature and silly and goodhearted in nature. I have always liked Shel Silverstein; his work is simply timeless.
Always a classic August 4, 2007
We were brought up on these delightful and funny poems in our elementary school outside of Chicago. I will treasure them forever as they gave me an excellent reading foundation and sparked my interest in poetry.
Excellent teaching tool.
What a delightful introduction to poetry. June 29, 2007
Where the Sidewalk Ends doesn't just rhyme it talks. It talks to children about issues that concern them, from toothaches to spooky houses. It doesn't diminish fear it acknowledges its existence in a way that makes it manageable. The poems are fantasy filled fun that initiates discussion and opportunity for the children to play with poetry of their own.
A classic that's fun June 13, 2007

This is such a fun book to read out loud. Some of the humor may be over the head of a toddler but much of it is so enjoyable, from the illustrations to the rhymes to the themes. Lots of choices, none too long, it's a good one for the bedtime shelf.
 Well Excuse me for intruding on the fun, but the sidewalk does not end! June 12, 2007

EVERYONE LISTEN! THIS MAN IS A FRAUD! I have traveled the world and seen the wonders of all of the world and the sidewalk does not end! What is this insane man thinking? Has he gone bananas? The sidewalk is cut into a square format most of the time, and occasionally a sidewalk breaks off into some sort of no man's land, but it never ends abruptly at the height of a tall mountain overlooking the world. Why would there be a sidewalk there? THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE! THIS MAN IS FOOLING US ALL! GUESS WHAT? YOU CANNOT FALL UP. THAT IS ANOTHER ONE OF SILVERSTEIN'S ILLUSIONS! Be careful; the world is a dangerous place.
