A WONDERFUL BOOK FROM THOSE WONDERFUL 70'S

Where the Sidewalk Ends was such a special book to me
growing up. I could read that book and just be lost in
it. Not thinking of the day ahead or bad times. I was
a part of Shel's world and what a world to be in. Boy's
who sell their bratty sisters,a girl who eats a whale,the
girl who just WILL NOT TAKE THE GARBAGE OUT!!! This book
brought so much joy to me. I first read this in school like
most of you at our library and really could not put it down.
This will forever be a BIG part of my special place to escape.
The 70's brought so much joy to me like being in school and
watching for the first time the little blond boy who lost the
red balloon(remember that) Marlo Thomas's FREE TO BE YOU AND ME!
CAPTAIN KANGAROO and those Ping-Pong Balls. How about The Most
Important Person in the World is YOU! THE BANANA SPLITS(one banana
two banana three banana four,the banana splits are knocking at your door)and who can forget A YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS. I'm MR. Heat Mys-er
he is Mr. Snow! How about being 6yrs.old and seeing KISS for the first time. Like the guy with the trench-coat and Derby hat who painted numbers
on men's bald heads from Sesame Street. Where the Sidewalk Ends will
ALWAYS be a part of me. And recommend to all. I will be reading
Shel's wonderful poems to my children and hope you too will read them.
It's funny? I remember writing these poems to my mom who really is a writer. She would be at her typewriter and I would hand her some paper
with Shel's poems and say they were mine. She knew I had not written
these wonderful poems myself,yet she told me she loved them. Anyway
buy Where the Sidewalk Ends. Also recommend A Light in the Attic
and Falling Up!

I LOVE THIS BOOK!

I grew up reading these books and I am glad to see that it is still a classic...My 7-year-old requested a copy :)

Silverstein makes a second generation of poetry lovers

When I was a kid, I adored this book. I had it when it was new and "fresh." My parents, both English majors, bought it to open my world to poetry and I gobbled it up with zeal! Who could not love poems about kids who "would not take the garbage out?" Recently, my Mother gave the book to my six year old daughter who loves it so much that she is now sleeping with it under her pillow. Usually, getting her to read the second grade requisite 20 minutes per night is a bit of a trial. Right now, she asks me when reading time will be because she is so excited to get back to Shel Silverstein! Buy this book for every child you know and you will make readers, poetry lovers and more creative children and the world will be a better place!

CLASSIC SHEL SILVERSTEIN

This is a magical book, when anyone i know has a child i buy them this book to give to their child when they begin to read books, it is quite simply a must in any childs book collection. I still have my childhood copy on the self and at times when i really need a smile, i'll pull it down off the shelf and read it, and it never cease to give me a lift. I recommend this book as highly as any i have ever read, it really is the benchmark for childrens books.

shipping option was awful...
