A Where the Sidewalk Ends
Shel Silverstein's "Where the Sidewalk Ends" is one of my favourite books. He combines funny, quirky, simple poems with Tim Burton like creature illustrations. It's not just for kids! I am 22 and love this book. It's unique and totally original. If you want a fun and fast read- pick this up and pass it onto your friends!

Shel Silverstein is one of America's best loved poets, whose work is read by every child in the USA but is almost unknown in the UK. Think Spike Milligan meets Edward Lear: it's nonsense poetry that makes perfect sense.

Where the Sidewalk Ends: Poems and Drawings
now, saying that i absolutely loved Where the Sidewalk Ends should not be construed as a statement that Silverstein's work is shallow. piddling my knowledge might be about bodies of poetry, in whatever form, this one thing i am sure of: that though this book can be read to kids (and [gasp!] can actually be understood and enjoyed by them), it somehow still manages to deliver punchlines that could draw forth a surprised smile or chuckle from an adult--at least those not totally drowning in cynicism...

The compilation, "recited, sung, and shouted" by Silverstein himself, features highlights from...
