(  ) petajaye | Dec 17, 2009 |  Where the Sidewalk Ends is a sister book to Falling Up. I love both of these books because of the sillyness and imagination they hold. I enjoy reading these as much as I did when I was a child! Where the Sidewalk Ends is full of hilarious rhymes, stories that teach good morals, as well as stories that teach nothing but are full of crazy off the wall sayings. This book is good for introducing children to the world of poetry with a twist of humor. kris1990 | Dec 7, 2009 | Shel Silverstein makes poetry interesting for children. As a child I always hated poetry in class but these poems were funny and helped me to appreciate poetry. The illustrations that accompany the poems really help to capture the the theme of each poem. I think that all teachers should have a copy of this book in their classrooms. You could read one poem a day or have one student a day come up and read a poem from the book to the classroom. It will help with their pronunciation as well as public speaking. (  ) KellyBryan | Dec 6, 2009 | It makes poetry look like fun. I think students would genuinely like these poems. ( ) Kquinata | Dec 6, 2009 | I absolutely love Where the Sidewalk Ends, by Shel Silverstein. The words in his poems seem to roll of my tongue, as if I knew the words all along. It's definitely poetry meant for children, but I think that it's very entertaining for adults as well. Shel Silverstein captures the humour of most of the stories by drawing pictures in simple black and white. Some of the poems I read stuck in my mind for days, such as Smart, on page 35!
