It seems to be very trendy to solicit books instead of a card for baby showers these days and this is my "Go To". Every time. It actually annoys me to see someone else bring the same book to a shower. That's how much of my "go to" it is. I feel selfishly possessive like I wrote it myself. I loved his books when I was younger, I read them to my own kids, I pass them on for others... You should do the same. Unless you're going to be at a shower with me.

Funny and makes a great gift.

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Got this book because it was one of my favorite and most memorable as a child and I wanted my son to enjoy. He enjoyed the funny poems as much as I did. I want to get him Light in the Attic and Giving Tree too. Binding and printing are excellent and it's a nice hardcover that should last for years. If you haven't read a Shel Silverstein poem book (or if your children haven't) I recommend starting with this one or Light in the Attic. They both have awesome fun poems. Where the Sidewalk Ends is the first one I read way back in the late 1980s and was quickly followed by Light in the Attic and I have remembered bits of some of the poems ever since.. they were that good (and funny) to me as a child. The illustrations (also by the author) are fun too and will be enjoyed. A great gift.

I wish it never ended...

I couldn't be happier to own this book again after so many years. I feel as if Shel Silverstein's books are so important for children growing up. A mixture of campy and fun poems as well as life lessons. Some prefer The Giving Tree but for his lighter work I think this is a collection of great work. Nostalgic for sure. "Where the sidewalk ends." That place represents childhood, its innocence, and its fundamentally different way of looking at the world (as opposed to the way that adults view it). If you have a preteen in your household this might be just as good if not better than Chicken Soup For The Soul. Keep reading alive, put down that smart phone, and give this book a go.

This is a timeless book. I still enjoy reading it from my copy I received when I was 7 years old. This is my go-to gift for any future mom's at baby showers. It'll last a lifetime time, they'll read it to them for bed time stories, the child will eventually read them by themselves and then it can read and enjoyed as an adult. I highly recommend this book and others by the same author.,

My son is finally old enough at 4 years to enjoy this book with me.

I've been waiting for my children to get old enough to enjoy Silverstein, and we've finally made it!

My (almost) 5 year old loves this book. We read 4 or 5 poems together every day before bed. My 2 year old could care less about the silly poems and Shel's wit, however.

I love it!

Forever treasured

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2018

This was one of my favorite books as a kid, and is the book that got me interested in poetry.

Flash forward several years later, while student teaching in a fourth grade classroom and teaching a unit on poetry, I introduced my class of 12 nine and ten year olds to this book. Most of them loved it! During independent reading time, the two Shel Silverstein books in the classroom were the first taken by students for the next couple of weeks.

Now, another few years later, I've purchased this for my soon-to-be-eight year old niece. I am so excited to gift this to her, and just know it is going to spark a love of poetry in her as well.

3 Generations of realizing this is a GREAT book for kids ages 8 and up

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I bought this for my very creative Granddaughter who is borderline genius and has some compartmentalism problems. When she opened her Christmas gift, she instantly fell in love with it. I hadn’t realized my daughter had this book tucked away from her childhood (which is why the title seemed so familiar). What’s funny is their other Grandma bought our oldest Granddaughter the same book, and she loved hers just as much.

I bought this as a gift for my nephews but before giving it to them, I bought colored pencils and colored in all of the pictures to help bring the wonderful poems to life. It's a great quality book with a slip cover to keep it nice. I would buy this again.

Swings and Roundabouts

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 18, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Loved the book. The poems and illustrations are so good. I heard of this book from Dermott Hayes, an Irish writer who came across a copy 25 years after reading it originally to his kids. He mentioned it on his Wordpress blog, so I thought I would get my own copy.
I bought it second hand and it said cover was in good condition.
Was a bit disappointed that the front cover (showing the picture) was not on the book.
However, the nice surprise was that the black hardback cover was signed by Shel Silverstein, so swings and roundabouts as they say :0)
Kids will love this and adults will love reading it to their kids and the illustrations are lovely

... my children to these poems as they were a favourite of mine as a child

Introduced my children to these poems as they were a favourite of mine as a child. They now demand that "Sick" is read to them every night and they have begun reciting poems from the book to each other. I'd forgotten how wonderful this book was and how it captivates imaginations young and old. Highly, highly recommend.

I have loved this book since 1975! Shel Silverstein was an amazing writer. Couldn't resist buying a copy as a stocking filler for my 7 year old granddaughter. Have not seen this particular book as it was dispatched directly to her home in the UK. But I have no doubt that she will love it! Delivery I am told (by my daughter) was very fast and package arrived in perfect conditon. I am sure that I will buy many more of these wonderful books for her.

This is my first Shel Silverstein book after a friend in the US recommended it to me and I love it as does my eight year old. It's a curious collection of work but somehow captivating. Some are surreal, poignant and amusing. Great to read whatever your age. And this hardback version is beautiful.
