Editorial Review:

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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - wonderful book

This is a wonderful book Igot it for my grandaughter for my great granddaughter when she is older..we have loved it for years....



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - These books are great for a bed time story

These story's are fun, funny and cute. Most of us read them as kids and even Memorized a few of them. (warning was my favorite). This book holds up though the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another great book!
Where the sidewalk ends is also a great book. I will be giving it to my niece for Christmas. She loved A Light in the Attic so I'm sure she'll love this one too.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Where the SideWalk Ends
I think this is a wonderful book for kids and adults of all ages. The poems are fun and the illustrations are great. Read it to a little one or read it with an older child. Everyone will enjoy it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good for any age!
My adult daughter has wanted this book since she was in school. I decided to get it for her for Christmas. Of course she doesn't know it yet, but I know she'll love it! Thanks for getting it to me so quickly!
