4+ of 5 stars to Where the Sidewalk Ends, a collection of poetry published in 1974 by Shel Silverstein. What a wonderful book to read with children at whatever age; that is, both any age for the reader and the children! I first read this book when I was about ten-years-old, so over again in college. From the brilliant characters to the alliteration and rhyme, to the memorable lines and funny situations, it'south one of those books where you will detect something new each time you read it.
I cannot imagine beingness this creative. I can dream up stories about real people and situations and take written several, only to have an imagination where animals and things can talk, accept emotions, interact in peculiar ways... to discover the words to compare and contrast... to describe and draw precious creations... is truthful talent. I admire Silverstein's massive fantasy world of freedom. He was and so unconstrained in his ability to develop a world with just enough charm and beauty to win usa all over. Information technology's a volume all about perception, but without taking the didactic and pedantic approach.
Children see things differently than adults. Adults accept limits. Children have experiences. Just what happens on the other side... where something is also far to encounter, or too close to imagine? Who lives in the crack between cement blocks? The earth of freedom does... and that'south where Silverstein wants us to go, where nosotros are all equal, without preconceived notions... to be able to explore as if nosotros are seeing something for the first time... and connecting with everyone around united states of america. That's how to motivate readers with this volume... children learning to come across more than what they actually see.
I could keep and on... merely I'll cease. It'south just a wonderful way to acquire. FYI - Wrote this review ~2017 from retention as I want to have a review for everything I recall reading. If I messed it upwards, permit me know! LOL :)

This is a book that has been on our family unit shelves literally for generations. My own offspring enjoyed information technology, and are now sharing it with their children.

There is such a wide variety of poems in here, long and curt, some that depend on his illustration and some that stand up alone.
I think poetry is important for kids. In that location is a rhythm to our English, and I think poesy has always captured it better than prose. And then many of the poems here are consummate little stories. And I enjoy that they interruption the staid and starchy reputation that is so often unjustly fastened to poetry.
This is one of those books that can be opened to whatever page, whatever fourth dimension. And it's definitely a volume that begs to be shared and read aloud.

The braces smashed into my lip and it bled so bad! I went to the bath with a girlfriend (I can't recollect her anymore - isn't that foreign?) and she tried to help me clean up and so the bell rang and she went dorsum to course and I had to walk in to class with my bloody face up. My teacher looked at me - and I was trying to skulk and then quietly in - and he said "Who did that to you?!?!?" and I said Chris N. and he grabbed him by the shirt and lifted him off the ground and slammed him into the wall. He said something like "Y'all don't striking girls!" and took him to the principles function.
The funny thing?!?! That weekend I got craven pox (the second fourth dimension!) and when I got back they gave me two weeks detention for getting in a fight. (I am so non shitting you.) And when I went to detention - they fabricated me sit down in the hall by myself rather than sitting in detention with all the assholes who got disrepair for real shit.

If there are people who don't like Shel Silverstein, I don't want to meet them. Or, more to the point, yous shouldn't come across them if that is an option.
Children need to experience this kind of creepy / weird / funny / distressing stuff, not but for their own sake, only for the sake of having a conduit through which they can make sense of near of the rest of the world. Knowing that Shel sees things this way, too, makes it all easier to take, and makes your own oddness that much more than tolerable. We, equally humans, need to come to terms with inexplicable and unfathomable in the world, and it wasn't until Shel that we began to realize that the only fashion to gently aid our children exercise just that, is to permit a perverted old weirdo with a large stack of Playboys in his basement lead the style.

I see a book!
A book that gleams
A volume that screams
Delightful things
By Shel Silverstein
Poems and drawings
That are not boring
They speak to me
Like a tapestry
Of childhood joys
For girls and boys
Not merely for kids
Adults will dig
The funny rhymes
of forgotten times
When they were young
And life was fun
And so turn the page
Forget your historic period
When the volume ends
Yous can starting time once more
And follow the bend
Where the sidewalk ends

When I was lilliputian, my parents found this virtually amusing. They would hear me playing in my bedroom, singing random snatches of commercial jingles and songs from A Prairie Dwelling Companion to myself. Then they would try to make me perform them for guests.
"Sing the song from the Garrison Keillor record!" they would say.
"No," I would respond, suddenly shy.
"Come on, sing it!" they'd smile. ("He's being shy, he ordinarily sings this all day!")
"No, I don't want to," I'd insist.
"Come up on, Joel, sing the vocal from the tape."
"NOOOOO!" I would shout, now in tears.
"SING IT OR You'RE IN TROUBLE!"

This is officially one of my favorite children'southward books. I read this with my ten, 9, and seven year former daughters.

Silverstein not only made me laugh so hard I well-nigh cried, but he also write with such heart that he could make me weep with a one folio poem. Admittedly, I have a soft centre when information technology comes to children'southward books. Some of his clever rhymes reveal the magic of the young and how some kids are able to live in a earth all their own...that wonderful identify chosen childhood. And notwithstanding it all has an adult spin on information technology, a sense of longing that only adults can have for the babyhood that is long gone for them. Deeper meanings, folks...
"Magic
Sandra'south seen a leprechaun,
Eddie touched a troll,
Laurie danced with witches once,
Charlie found some goblins gold.
Donald heard a mermaid sing,
Susy spied an elf,
Just all the magic I take known
I've had to make myself."
There are some that have big morals that spouted long conversations between my kids and I:
"My skin is kind of sort of brownish pinkish yellowish white. My eyes are greyish blueish greenish, but I'thou told they wait orange in the night. My hair is reddish blondish brown, but its silverish when its wet, and all the colors I am inside take non been invented yet."
And some that were just for fun and had us all giggling similar crazy loons. We've already gone dorsum and reread some favorites...And I beloved how the pictures come correct from the authors caput, as well as the words. His imagination does it much better than ours could have!
Highly recommended for any parents and kids who need a dose of imagination, humor, and insight. I'd fifty-fifty recommend this to but an adult who likes to laugh.

"Where the Sidewalk Ends" is another book of poems from the creative heed of Shel Silverstein, who is the popular writer of "A Lite in the Attic." This book details poems about silly people and animals doing crazy activities. Even though this book has some suggestive content, children volition easily be delighted in this book for many years.

"Where the Sidewalk Ends" is some other volume of poems from the creative mind of Shel Silverstein, who is the popular author of "A Light in the Attic." This book details poems about light-headed people and animals doing crazy activities. Even though this book has some suggestive content, children will easily exist delighted in this book for many years.
Shel Silverstein has done an awesome task with both illustrating and writing this book of poems. Shel Silverstein's writing is witty and creative every bit uses baroque creatures and humans to summarize each poem in a humorous way. The poem that I idea stood out the nigh was the poem about Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout who refused to have the garbage out and meets a grisly end (fifty-fifty though he never mentions what happened to her) and that poem expresses the moral that it is of import to take the garbage out when it is needed and how one must listen to their parents when doing chores. Shel Silverstein's illustrations are hilarious and crude equally he illustrates each character with long limbs and exaggerated expressions and I besides love the style that Shel Silverstein puts the illustrations in black and white format which is mostly found in chapters books for both children and adults.
Parents should know that there is a swell deal of suggestive content in this book mainly revolving around the topic of morbid humor and the topic of God. The two poems that might be the most controversial would be "Ma and God" and "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout would not take the Garbage Out." In "Ma and God," the poem talks well-nigh how Ma always tells her child to non do bad things, even though God has created the bad things for the child to do. For instance, one passage mentions that mother tells their children to eat their vegetables, just God creates sweets for children to swallow. This poem might requite children the wrong message nigh God and parents might want to teach their children about religion before they read them this poem. In "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout would not take the Garbage out," the garbage overflows the firm and eventually the urban center when Sarah refused to accept the garbage out. This poem might worry small-scale children who think that if the garbage overflows their house, then they will meet a tragic fate as well. Nonetheless, the poem merely tries to teach children to obey their parents and parents should try to comfort their children almost this verse form and the importance of taking the trash out.
"Where the Sidewalk Ends" is another great classic volume of poems from Shel Silverstein and it volition surely assist appoint children into the world of poetry. I would recommend this volume for children ages six and upwardly due to the suggestive themes of God and some morbid humor that younger children might non understand.

True STORY
This morning I jumped on my equus caballus
And went out for a ride.
And some wild outlaws chased me
And they shot me in the side.
So I crawled into a wildcat's cave
To notice a place to hide,
But some pirates institute me sleeping there,
And before long they had me tied
To a pole and built a fire
Under me-I almost cried
Till a mermaid came and cutting me loose
And begged to be my bride.
So I said I'd come back Midweek
But I must admit I lied.
Then I ran into a jungle swamp
But I forgot my guide
And I stepped into some quicksand,
And no affair how I tried
I couldn't go out, until I met
A water snake named Clyde,
Who pulled me to some cannibals
Who planned to have me fried.
But an hawkeye came and swooped me upward
And through the air we flied,
But he dropped me in a humid lake
A g miles wide.
And you lot'll never guess what I did and then-
I DIED.
In whatever example, I absolutely dearest this book and the other books by Silverstein equally well. If you never read anything to your children other than these books, you will at to the lowest degree accept instilled a love of poesy in your child. My five year former is at present making up poems and reciting them to anyone who will listen. A great addition and accented must-have for whatsoever children'south (or adult children's - similar me!) library. Highly recommended!

And when I was leaving-and then I'd say "How-do-you-do."
And the greatest of men would be silly and lazy
So I would be king ... if the world was crazy.
What a lovely collection of poetry for children! The themes are interesting and artistic; the rhymes are quite catchy. Great way to warm children upwardly for poetry reading, they will surely boost imagination and ignite curiosity. I loved virtually of the poems, they're entertaining for adults, as well. Definitely recommended.

I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where anybody hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where anybody kisses,
And everyone grins,
And anybody cuddles,
And anybody wins."
