Where the Sidewalk Ends, Shel Silverstein
Irreverent, hilarious and wildly popular, Silverstein's collection of verse is hard to put down. His black pen drawings are an integral part of the poems, which range from funny and gross to introspective or tender. Silverstein is a master at tickling the funny bone, and his book is definitely not just for kids!

Where the Sidewalk Ends, while hardly obscure, is also not as well known as it deserves to be. This film noir entry is decidedly flawed, which keeps it from being of the absolute top rank, but it's awfully good -- especially for aficionados of crime thrillers. Sidewalk's main flaw is that the setup of its basic story doesn't quite seem believable; it seems a stretch that Dixon would go to such extraordinary lengths to cover up the murder he accidentally commits. Certainly, there are people who would...

Crime Drama DVD - Dana Andrews is brutal metropolitan police detective Dixon, who despises all criminals because his father had been one. When the cops pick up two-bit gambler Ken Paine (Craig Stevens) as a murder suspect, Dixon subjects Paine to the third degree -- and accidentally kills him. In disposing of the body, Dixon inadvertently places the blame for the killing on cab driver Jiggs Taylor (Tom Tully). Having fallen in love with Jigg's daughter, Morgan (Gene Tierney), Dixon tries to clear the cabbie without implicating himself, but ultimately he becomes trapped in a web of his own making; luckily Morgan promises to stand by him. Where the Sidewalk Ends was adapted from a novel by William L. Stuart; its director was Otto Preminger, who'd previously put Andrews and Tierney through their paces in Laura (1944). - Where the Sidewalk Ends (DVD)

Amid his literary successes, which included Uncle Shelby ABZ Book, Uncle Shelby's Zoo, and Giraffe and a Half, all of which were aimed at children, Silverstein also established himself as a songwriter. A pair of his compositions, "The First Battalion" and "You're Wasting Your Time Trying to Make Me Settle Down," were recorded by Bob Gibson and Hamilton Camp, during the early '60s, but "The Unicorn Song," from his own Inside Folk Songs album, quickly achieved a life of its own when the Irish Rovers...

Where the Sidewalk Ends: Poems and Drawings
Like this amazing book actually needs any more praise showered on it. (Well, it's going to get it anyways, so it had better learn to live with it!) Can anyone say anything negative about this book? (well...other than the book banners, but we all know very well what humongous Delusionals they are.) Anyways, everyone's read this book (and if you haven't, then dear, I really do pity you and your lost childhood) and everyone knows how amazing it is. The second and third and fourth rereads only give...

By the early 1970s, the outlandish, outrageous Shel Silverstein was already a prolific folksinger/songwriter, cartoonist, and author of a widely known, much discussed classic children's book, THE GIVING TREE. His popular 1973 album, FREAKIN' AT THE FREAKERS BALL, with Dr. Hook and the Medicine Band, contained a song about Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout, a little girl who would appear again the following year in a book of groundbreaking kids' verses. This collection, WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS, forever changed...

Where the Sidewalk Ends By Shel Silverstein
Where the Sidewalk Ends Where the Sidewalk Ends is where dreams begin. Dreams of magic, acrobats, pancakes, Captain Hook, snowmen, and never taking the garbage out. Dream of Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too, who “went for a ride in a flying shoe” and Jimmy Jet, who watches so much TV, he turns into a TV set. As the Los Angeles Times says, “Silverstein’s punch lines will hit you every time—in the heart, the head, and the humerus!” (All ages)
