(  ) briguy23 | Nov 10, 2009 |  A wondrous book of short poems compiled by Shel Silverstein. Anyone can find something to laugh at or relate to within this book. ( ) Sarah21123 | Nov 1, 2009 | I have always loved these books by Shel Silverstein. As a little girl in elementary school, I can remember our teacher reading us poems out of these books. This book could be used for many different reasons in reading. There are tons of poems in this book that have ryhming schemas. There are different types of poems such as; epic, couplet, ballad, and haiku. This book coulld be used for echo reading as well. All in all this book is very entertaining and useful in any teachers classroom.

Great, from beginning to end. ( ) ascgrrl | Oct 21, 2009 | An all time favorite!  BoomChick | Oct 13, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0060256672, Hardcover)Shel Silverstein shook the staid world of children's poetry in 1974 with the publication of this collection, and things haven't been the same since. More than four and a half million copies of Where the Sidewalk Ends have been sold, making it the bestselling children's poetry book ever. With this and his other poetry collections (A Light in the Attic and Falling Up), Silverstein reveals his genius for reaching kids with silly words and simple pen-and-ink drawings. What child can resist a poem called "Dancing Pants" or "The Dirtiest Man in the World"? Each of the 130 poems is funny in a different way, or touching ... or both. Some approach naughtiness or are a bit disgusting to squeamish grown-ups, but that's exactly what kids like best about Silverstein's work. Jim Trelease, author of The New Read-Aloud Handbook, calls this book "without question, the best-loved collection of poetry for children." (Ages 4 to 10)(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:12 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
