Book - Child
"Shel Silverstein shook the staid world of children's poetry in 1974 with the publication of this collection, adn things haven't been the same since. More than four and a half million copies of Where the Sidewalk Ends have been sold, making the bestselling children's poetry book ever. With this and hsi other poetry collections, Silverstein reveals his genius for reaching kids with silly words and simple pen-and-ink drawings. What child can resist a poem called 'Dancing Pants' or 'The Dirtiest Man int he World?' Each of the 130 poems is funny in a different, or touching..or both. Some approach naughtiness or are a bit disgusting to squeamish grown-ups, but that's exactly what kids like best about Silverstein's work. Jim Trelease, author of The New Read-Aloud Handbook, calls this book 'without question, the best-loved collection of poetry for children.'" From Amazon.com
