Children's Book in the Spot Light - Where the Sidewalk Ends

Where the Sidewalk Ends 30th Anniversary Edition:
Poems and Drawings


I remember buying this book for my daughter like it was yesterday, even though it was almost twenty years ago. But neither she or I have out grown this, or any of the other Shel Silverstein books that we own. This one being the first in our collection it is the most magical.

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.

Children's Book in the Spot Light - A Light in the Attic

A Light in the Attic


Last night while I lay thinking here
Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
And pranced and partied all night long
And sang their same old Whatif song:


Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?...

From the creator of the beloved poetry collections Where the Sidewalk Ends and Falling Up, here is another wondrous book of poems and drawings. And I really can't recommend these books any more highly then I do. If I could I would give this series of books to every kid. And I'm willing to bet that most kids will love them.

Children's Book in the Spot Light - Falling Up

Falling Up


All the things that I love about Shel Silverstein's other books, I also love about this one. I bought these books as much for our daughter as I did for myself. And it makes me laugh saying that, but it is true. And now that our daughter is grown I am still enjoying them.

This book with its silly ryhems and wonderful ink drawings is sure to delight your child as much as it does me. And who knows you may like it as much as I do.
