No poet has captured the hearts, minds, and memories of children quite like Shel Silverstein. His bestselling poetry collections are filled with strange characters and wacky situations sure to keep kids laughing. What gives the poems their power is that they also evoke real emotions that match every mood a child could have. Start on any page and you'll find verses both funny and serious, silly and thoughtful—all illustrated with the author's own appealing black-and-white line drawings. A Light in the Attic Who—or what—is hiding in Shel Silverstein's attic? In more than 135 poems, readers will meet Backward Bill, Sour Face Ann, the Meehoo with its Exactlywatt, and a polar bear in a Frigidaire. They'll get caught by the Quick-Digesting Gink, hear a mountain snore, and much more! Where the Sidewalk Ends 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.
