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 . . .
Come in . . . for where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silverstein's world begins. 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 is at once outrageously funny and profound.
Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful (2009-06-29)
Each page is a story in itself, in rhyme The drawings are really cute and the poems, or rhyming stories are really fun. It's the first time my 2 1/2 year old actually read along with me, repeating the story as I read it to him. We can play out some of the stories and each one is cuter than the next. I can't believe I didn't get this book sooner. We love it!!!!
Just a classic (2009-05-15)
Shel did a great job on this book and "the giving tree", the kids still love this book years later and a good message.

Shel Silverstein is one of my daughter's favorite authors and this book is a really well put together compilation of his material.
