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.

I had to purchase this one for my children, because I loved this book so much as a child. I was surprised sometimes by the innuendo that I didn't get as a child but totally get as an adult. My first time to read and laugh at these stories as a child, I remember fondly, was in fourth grade and I enjoyed being able to share them again with my children.

I bought this as a gift for someone who had never read any of Silverstein's poems and he loved it. This is a great book for kids or for adults who need a grin very now and then. You can pick it up and open to a random page, read a few poems and walk away with a smile. We enjoyed the bonus poems but I don't know if those poems are worth a premium price.

I have to say I love reading this to my 1 year old son!!! Reading them makes me nostalgic. They are mostly humorous but some do carry an underlying lesson about life. I would recommend to parents who want to get their children to enjoy reading without realizing they're learning! Reading can be fun! But don't limit this book to just your child because I'm sure you too may enjoy rereading the poems you read in school (or maybe you never did! awww..too bad:()I'd have to say this is one of those children's ...

This collection of poems is amazing. The drawings are cute as well. I can remember Ickle Me, Tickle Me, and Pickle Me from my own childhood. SICK (the little girl with Munchausen's and school phobia/avoidance) was another one I remembered from when I was a little girl. Hannah enjoys Dirty Dan, (the world's dirtiest man) at present. I know we will be turning to this book for many years ahead.
