# Where the Sidewalk Ends: Poems & Drawings - Hardcover

by **Shel Silverstein** (Author), **Shel Silverstein** (Illustrator)

**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. This special edition contains 12 extra poems.**

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 _Runny Babbit Returns_, the new book by Shel Silverstein

_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 . . ._
