This is every afternoon at school, from kindergarten in 1977 to third grade in 1980, sitting on the floor in a semi-circle around various teachers (respected Mrs Case, beloved Mrs Sobel, unlovely and feared Mrs Baumgartner, glorious, worshipped Mizz Grundy) and hearing all about Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout. I can hear my esteemed 6-year-old colleague Patrick reading "What a Day" in high-pitched, giggling mid-western drawl. I remember feeling so sorry for the Australian kids I met when we returned to Melbourne in 1980. I went into Grade 4 and they'd never heard of [a:Shel Silverstein|435477|Shel Silverstein|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1201029128p2/435477.jpg]! Poor deprived mites.

There's some nice, lively stuff in here, good for reading aloud on a sleety weekend afternoon. Just don't make it the only book of verse on the children's shelves. Ingår iFinns som utökad version iPriserUppmärksammade listor

This book is a treasure trove of wit, wisdom, and whimsy, presenting a range of themes from the mundane to the fantastical, all approached with Silverstein's signature blend of humour, tenderness, and a dash of the absurd. The poems traverse the spectrum of childhood experiences and emotions, from the joy of catching a whale with a small fishing hook to the reflective quiet of watching shadows grow into the night.
Silverstein's artful drawings complement his verses perfectly, adding a visual layer that enriches the poetic experience. His ability to address complex emotions and ideas in a simple, accessible manner makes this collection a profound experience for readers of all ages.
"Where the Sidewalk Ends" invites us to look beyond the concrete of our everyday lives and find the endless possibilities that imagination can offer, making it a timeless classic that continues to inspire wonder and delight in the hearts of those who journey through its pages. ( )
