About this ebook

NOW AVAILABLE AS AN EBOOK!

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 these other Shel Silverstein ebooks, The Giving Tree, A Light in the Attic, and Falling Up!

Ratings and reviews

This was one of my favorites growing up. Some of the stories were super short, then some were long and detailed. The artwork was interesting and kinda creepy and made the book more unique and interesting.

One of three total Shel Silverstein books from my gramma when i was growing up! They were definitely the biggest books I had ever gotten until then and made me feel super adultlike and all lol! The contents are zany though so it balanced me out well. RIP gramma! Thank you!

A light in the attic and Where the sidewalk ends are definitely two books that everyone needs to experience at least once in their lifetime..... Been favorites of mine since i was old enough to understand poetry...
