    Book was in good condition. Recommended by a friend for the kids to read. I read it first. Kind of a book load of nothing. I find it to be just a jumble of rantings. Maybe the kids will think differently. Just glad I did not pay full price for the book. I think it will be passed on quickly.

    This book of poetry for kids (and grown up kids) is just wonderful. The poems are amusing and the illustrations are perfect. It arrived quickly, well packaged, and in great condition. It was an excellent price for such a treasure of a book. I highly recommend this seller.

    Good vintage find, well worth the price. It wasn't in the best condition but it was described as well used and I'm still happy with it. Professional seller, no hassles, fast delivery. Highly recommend this site.

    A Classic!

    Not only delightful, it is a lesson in relativity, with its whimsical points of view and drawings. It makes us laugh! My 5 year old grandson loves to play with rhymes, and this is fertile ground for exploration.

    Limited description

    Book arrived with no cover. I was planning in gifting the book. Disappointed. Though the description noted not the picture of the actual book I feel slightly mislead. Description could Gabe notes no cover or the possibility of no cover.

  • "Where the Sidewalk Ends" carries you back to childhood.

    Excellent condition... I would have judged it "very" good. Poems are entertaining to read to children and increase their listening vocabulary. Black and white drawings go along with the verbal entertainment. Even adults get a chuckle out of this book.

  • Fun book for young children

    This was my older son's favorite book when he was in elementary school. He borrowed & renewed it if from the school library so often I bought the book so he'd have his own copy. Now that he has a son I wanted to give him the book his daddy loved so much. Shel Sillverstein has passed away but he left a wonderful legacy of amusing, clever poems and drawings for kids (and their parents) to enjoy.

  • Beloved book!

    This poetry book is a classic and will be loved by young readers for a long long time. It's still one of my favorite books to read. It's easy to read a poem or two to my first grader.
