Summary: Where the sidewalk ends is classic, and gives a bunch poems that every kid will enjoy. There are tons of ridiculous poems of a boy for example who turns into a Television. There is even a poem where a girl eats a whale. This book has tons of poems that have many different topics.
Evaluation: The Sidewalk Ends was a favorite of mine, and it really made me love poetry even more because it brought out the humorous side to poetry. I always loved poetry, and this book personally helped me love it more. I think this is a perfect book to help students, and young children see the fun side of poetry, and it would be great to read it to them as a fun story during a circle read, or at night.
Such a great book! I remember reading poems out of this book in fourth grade and picking our favorite to read in front of the school.
