Review Information: Where the Sidewalk Ends

• Common Sense Media Link
• Author – Shel Silverstein
  Illustrator – Shel Silverstein
  Cover artist – Shel Silverstein
  Country – United States of America
  Genre – Children’s poetry
  Publisher – Harper Collins Publishers
  Publication date – 1974
  Pages – 309Parents need to know that Where the Sidewalk Ends is a beloved collection of humorous poems and drawings first published by Shel Silverstein (The Giving Tree) in 1974. Some poems are a bit macabre — a skinny boy who disappears down the bathtub drain, a crocodile with a toothache who chomps a sadistic dentist, and so on. But there’s compassion and morality in here too, leavened with comic mayhem. Great as a read aloud for pre-readers, a book for beginning readers, and a surefire hit with third and fourth graders who get a kick out of reading and reciting the many funny poems.

Hope you enjoy the show!
