Product Description:
Including 12 New Poems!
If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer,
A wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er,
A magic bean buyer . . .
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 is at once outrageously funny and profound.

Rating: - Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful
Each page is a story in itself, in rhyme The drawings are really cute and the poems, or rhyming stories are really fun. It's the first time my 2 1/2 year old actually read along with me, repeating the story as I read it to him. We can play out some of the stories and each one is cuter than the next. I can't believe I didn't get this book sooner. We love it!!!!
Rating: - Just a classic
Shel did a great job on this book and "the giving tree", the kids still love this book years later and a good message.
