Fun Poetry for People of Any Age

Silverstein's poems may not be beautiful or thought-provoking. In fact, they are a bit on the strange side. I have first gotten this book in first grade, and I have read it many times. A great poem that I would recommend is 'The Crocodile and the Dentist' (I believe that is the correct title of it). If you're a parent, take time to read this with your children. Both of you will enjoy the creative and funny poems by Shel Silverstein.

Fun in a Book

I am reading this book right now and thought that I would come onto the website to review it for you. Actually my older sister who is sixteen is in speech and used one of the poems out of this book for her speech. She had three minutes to say 6 poems about friendship, she recieved a 1 and 2 2's. The scoring was one is the best and 3 is the worst. The poem she used was "Hug O' War". I absolutely love this book!

Must have for every household!!

This book inspired me to start reading more when I was a child! I have since introduced this book to adults, teenagers and children and all have enjoyed it. Most folks go and buy their own copies including a 15 year old boy who didn't enjoy reading anything except comic books! So, no matter the age, pick up the book...you will enjoy it!

Where the Sidewalk Ends

Bought this book at the flea market for 25 cents - is from Lock Haven State College in New Haven, Pa. and has Shel's printed autograph - Is a first edition in fairly great shape but surprised me because it said child's book and yet was a college library book. Anyway, read it and must admit that even at 65, the whimsey and fun of his writing is wonderful. Would love to have had something like this when I was growing up as I am an avid reader. If it is well written, I will read it and this book is definitely in that category. I recommend it to anyone who has a love of the fanciful and especially to children. :-)
