Where the Sidewalk Ends: Recited, Sung and Shouted

Shel Silverstein, the multi-million bestselling author and illustrator of A Light in the Attic, The Giving Tree and many other books of poetry and stories, is America’s best-loved children’s poet. In addition, Where the Sidewalk Ends is a shining example of his stellar talent as a songwriter, singer and musician.

A boy who turns into a TV set and a girl who eats a whale are only two of the characters in this collection of humorous poetry.
