2024 the best of me book ending review
Price: $19.99 - $11.70
(as of Dec 12, 2024 07:03:14 UTC - Details)
Shel Silverstein, the New York Times bestselling author of The Giving Tree, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, and Every Thing On It, has created a poetry collection that is outrageously funny and deeply profound. Come in . . . for where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silverstein's world begins.
You'll meet a boy who turns into a TV set, and a girl who eats a whale. The Unicorn and the Bloath live there, and so does Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout who will not take the garbage out. It is a place where you wash your shadow and plant diamond gardens, a place where shoes fly, sisters are auctioned off, and crocodiles go to the dentist.
Shel Silverstein's masterful collection of poems and drawings stretches the bounds of imagination and will be cherished by readers of all ages. This is a collection that belongs on everyone's bookshelf. Makes a great gift for special occasions such as holidays, birthdays, and graduation.
And don't miss Runny Babbit Returns, the new book by Shel Silverstein!

Title: Where the Sidewalk Ends: A Whimsical Walk Through Silverstein's Mind
Review: "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein is more than a book; it's a whimsical wander through the corridors of imagination, where every turn is a delightful surprise. This collection isn't just read; it's experienced, inviting readers of all ages to take a stroll in a world where the absurd and profound dance hand in hand.From the very first poem, Silverstein's unique voice captivates. His words are a playful mix of the nonsensical and insightful, weaving a tapestry that tickles the funny bone and tugs at the heartstrings. It's like being at a party where the guests include a mischievous sense of humor and a deep-seated wisdom.The illustrations are integral to the charm of this collection. Each drawing, with its deceptively simple lines, captures the essence of the poems, bringing them to life in a way that is as unexpected as it is endearing. The pages become a gallery of moments, each a window into a whimsical yet strangely familiar world.The themes of the poems are a testament to Silverstein's genius. He tackles everything from childhood fantasies to poignant reflections on life, all with a lightness of touch that makes even the most profound thoughts feel like featherweight musings.TL;DR: "Where the Sidewalk Ends" is a masterpiece of children's literature that adults will cherish equally. It's a book that reminds us of the joy of imagination, the beauty of words, and the endless possibilities that lie where the sidewalk ends and the imagination begins.
