Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

Where the Sidewalk Ends

by Shel Silverstein

A boy who turns into a TV set and a girl who eats a whale are only two of the characters in a collection of humorous poetry illustrated with the author's own drawings.

I really enjoyed the poems and artwork. They didn't all rhyme, some were sad, some were funny and a lot of them made me smile. I loved FOR SALE about selling off a younger sister. I can relate to it now and I definitely could relate to it as a kid. Highly recommend to people of all ages but I think kids will love the silliness of both the poetry and illustrations. 4 stars.

My favourites are below the spoiler.
