More than four and a half million copies of Where the Sidewalk Ends have been sold, making it the bestselling children's poetry book ever. With this and his other poetry collections (A Light in the Attic and Falling Up), Silverstein reveals his genius for reaching kids with silly words and simple pen-and-ink drawings. What child can resist a poem called \"Dancing Pants\" or \"The Dirtiest Man in the World\"? Each of the 130 poems is funny in a different way, or touching ... or both. Some approach naughtiness or are a bit disgusting to squeamish grown-ups, but that's exactly what kids like best about Silverstein's work. Jim Trelease, author of The New Read-Aloud Handbook, calls this book \"without question, the best-loved collection of poetry for children.\" (Ages 4 to 10)","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Silverst \/ HC","offer_id":53034826563873,"sku":"4142","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/2289\/8465\/files\/Where-the-Sidewalk-Ends.jpg?v=1784267125"},{"product_id":"where-the-wild-things-are","title":"Where the Wild Things Are","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis iconic story has inspired a movie, an opera, and the imagination of generations.
