Product Description   About the Author  
Authored Title
The author explores various facets and interests of children, with appropriate cartoonlike drawings. Also use: A Light in the Attic (1981).
Authored Title
This zany collection of masterfully comic poems is the forerunner to A Light in the Attic. Adults enjoy reading both books out loud, because they provide a childlike, child-size scrutiny of the world that leads to side-splitting revelations. The drawings back up the humor. Enough said.
Main Description
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.
