Where The Sidewalk Ends
Where the Sidewalk Ends 30th Anniversary Edition: Poems and Drawings
Amazon Price: $9.77 (as of 05/28/2012)
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.

Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me too,
Went for a ride in a flying shoe,
"Hooray!"
"What fun!"
"It's time we flew!"
Said Ickle Me, Pickle Me,
Tickle Me too.

Where the Sidewalk Ends - Audio CD !
Recorded By the Author Himself
Where the Sidewalk Ends
Amazon Price: $38.99 (as of 05/28/2012)
Shel Silverstein's readings of a few poems from the book together make for an amazing CD. And by a "few poems", I mean 47!
His voice is stunning, and his choices in tone and tempo, not to mention his added noises, make this recording a memorable experience.
