Books - Where the Sidewalk Ends: Poems and Drawings
|
Rating:  -
I loved this book as a child. My kids like it. It is hilarious. The poems are absolutely hysterical and easy to remember. They are gross, silly and use fun words- is there anything better to a kid?
Buy this. Read it. Love it.
Of course, if you're uptight, think children should never laugh too loudly, then this would NOT be the book for you.

this is one of the best childrens books out there! i got this book from my dad back in the 70's. my brother and i spent hours reading the poems and laughing. i also totally enjoyed the drawings. everytime i see the book it brings back memories of the hours spent reading and looking at the pictures...for a long time! your imagination is really peaked while reading the poems. he did a great job of visualization...the drawings helped too. my favorites are, "sarah slyvia cynthia stout would not take the garbage out"
i think every child should have this book in there collection!

Having read this book to many children, I testify that it is a loved book. They want many poems read over and over. That's a true attestment to child love. Also, I noticed that they referred to these poems when appropriate and related them to other poetry, or in their own writings. You can tell that I really appreciate the humor of this book. Try it!

When deciding how to teach dd (7) a unit on poetry, I had the daunting task of choosing quality, child appropriate poetry books. While searching, I came across this one and remember it being a favorite of mine as a child. I couldn't believe I didn't think of it before. DD loves the silly poems, and it has great variety in the types of poetry it contains. It has been both useful and enjoyable. Every home should have a copy of this book!

Growing up and attending school, I had to read poetry every single year. Whether it was Anton Chekhov and Milton in college, Shakespeare in elementary school, or Dante and Homer in high school, I found it all boring and sometimes hard to fathom. Instead, the only poetry I found enjoyable were those by Shel Silverstein in this book and his other classic, A Light in the Attic. Before there was Harry Potter, there was Shel Silverstein's poetry. Fun, enjoyable, easy to read, with minimal need of understanding; these are probably the most famous poetry put out by an American author. Readable by all 1st graders, they are enjoyable for adults and perfect teaching aides. I highly recommend it.
