Where the Sidewalk Ends

by Shel Silverstein

Poetry, compilation, abstract fiction

1974, Harper & Row

A collection of bizarre and hilarious poems, complete with odd illustrations. Set in a world of dentist-going crocodiles, annoying siblings, flying shoes, and edible whales.

Rated 5+ for some macabre or unusual humor and imagery, mild and ridiculous violence, and minor insubordination of children towards their parents.
