Where the Sidewalk Ends: Poems & Drawings : Silverstein, Shel, Silverstein, Shel: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: A new author for me, being from England I ... - A new author for me, being from England I didn't know Silverstein. I wish my children had read this. Lovely book. Review: Swings and Roundabouts - Loved the book. The poems and illustrations are so good. I heard of this book from Dermott Hayes, an Irish writer who came across a copy 25 years after reading it originally to his kids. He mentioned it on his Wordpress blog, so I thought I would get my own copy. I bought it second hand and it said cover was in good condition. Was a bit disappointed that the front cover (showing the picture) was not on the book. However, the nice surprise was that the black hardback cover was signed by Shel Silverstein, so swings and roundabouts as they say :0) Kids will love this and adults will love reading it to their kids and the illustrations are lovely

Le immagini e le suggestioni estetiche sono bellissime, ma forse un po' depressive, o se si preferisce "sottili" e "profonde", per un lettore bambino "medio"?

Book to keep around for grandbabies.
