Shel Silverstein, the New York Times bestselling author of The Giving Tree, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, and Every Thing On It, has created a poetry collection that is outrageously funny and deeply profound. Come in...for where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silverstein's world begins. This special edition contains 12 extra poems. 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 stretches the bounds of imagination and will be cherished by readers of all ages. This is a collection that belongs on everyone's bookshelf. Makes a great gift for special occasions such as holidays, birthdays, and graduation.

Passing Shel onto the next generation!
Bought this for my 5 year old son for Christmas. He always wants me to read him books and I was a big Shel fan growing up so I figured it would be cool to share that with him and pass the same stories down to him. And it’s really cool that this one has extra poems that the originals didn’t.

Classic!!
Such a classic. I read Shel Silverstein as a kid in the 90s. Now I’m reading to my son. Books are so silly and fun to read.

Evocativo, ma OK per bambini?
Le immagini e le suggestioni estetiche sono bellissime, ma forse un po' depressive, o se si preferisce "sottili" e "profonde", per un lettore bambino "medio"?
