Product Description
Including 12 New Poems! If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer,
A wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er,
A magic bean buyer . . .
Come in . . . for where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silverstein's world begins. 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 is at once outrageously funny and profound.

Heart and humor October 7, 2008

A completely magical collection! The imagination and wit of Shel Silverstein never ceases to amaze me as he does anything to make kids laugh (and, to my eternal gratitude) educate them.
Make no mistake, the man is too intelligent to be just silly. There is intelligence to each and every poem, even if it is ust the word structure.
As a teacher, I best appreciate this due to the different ages it reaches. I found myself reading my class one poem only to end if half way do to semi-mature content (come on, it's first grade, they can't hear everything).
Shel Silverstein is the Man.

wonderfuly fond September 22, 2008
I find this book to be wonderful in ways I don't have words for, my grandmother read me this book when i was young enough to not know how to read it to myself, and it has remained my favorite ever since, ( I'm 25 now ) its interesting to see the differences between having it read to me back then and reading it now. I see the ramifications of some of the poems now, that i of course missed as a child, things like no more war, and love for everyone, truly one of the best books of all time
Heart warming September 10, 2008
A collection of poems unlike any others. Many times I can't understand the poems I read and it is frustrating, but not with this one. I actually enjoyed it and would recommend it to any parent. Great book.
