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. This special edition contains 12 extra poems. 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 , coming in fall 2017!

Evocativo, ma OK per bambini?
Le immagini e le suggestioni estetiche sono bellissime, ma forse un po' depressive, o se si preferisce "sottili" e "profonde", per un lettore bambino "medio"?

Buena encuadernación
Mi hijo de 8 años lo devoró. Está encantado. Viene con muy buena encuadernación. Son poemas.

Versos cheios de liberdade...
Os poemas e desenhos do Shel Silverstein são recheados de anarquias e liberdades e com isso acredito que as crianças percebem que estão lendo de um dos seus pares. Idioma do livro: Inglês Não existe tradução para o português mas o nível de dificuldade não é dos maiores e há poemas menores também. Para efeito de informação, este não é o único livro de poemas do artista. Os outros são: A Light in the Attic (192 páginas) Falling Up (178 páginas) Every Thing On It (202 páginas) Runny Babbit (90 páginas) Runny Babbit Returns (90 páginas) Todos de capa dura e em inglês. Este, "Where the Sidewalk Ends" tem 192 páginas. É uma edição especial que tem um adicional de 12 novos poemas do artista.

EVERY YOUNG KID NEEDS THIS IN THEIR LIBRARY!
When I retired from teaching, I gave away all my books. This is one of the classic kids' books that needs to be in every child's library so I rebought them again for the little girls I babysit. Boys and girls from 2nd through 4th grade enjoyed these poems as does the 4-year-old I babysit. They are fun and whimsical. All ages can enjoy Shel Silverstein's books!
