Poetry for Kids
The Poetry Shoppe brings power-packed poetry to help kids develop serious artistic muscle.

Poetry packs a punch
Without ever raising a hand.
It'll jack you up,
Knock you down,
And bury you where you stand.
Poetry packs a punch
The strongest can't withstand.

Where the Sidewalk Ends (Book & CD)

Where the Sidewalk Ends Silly, silly Shel Silverstein. For more than 25 years, he has taken children exactly where they want to go with poetry - into the world of nonsense and wordplay.

This 176-page hardbound special edition includes an audio CD featuring 10 of Silverstein's nuttiest poems.

The compilation, "recited, sung, and shouted" by Silverstein himself, features highlights from his Grammy Award-winning album, including "Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too," "With His Mouth Full of Food," "Crocodile's Toothache," and "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out." No child - or grownup, for that matter - should be without this collection.

A Light in the Attic (Book & CD)

A Light in the Attic For over 20 years, kids and kids at heart have giggled at the jumbled, goofy nonsense poems of Shel Silverstein. And now, lucky readers can listen to his mad meanderings as well with this 176-page hardbound 20th anniversary edition of A Light in the Attic, which includes an audio CD read by the author himself.

Eleven classics, including "Twistable, Turnable Man," "The Dragon of Grindly Grun," "Prehistoric," and "Backward Bill" are performed by the late virtuoso of verse, while the tremendously popular book contains every one of the original poems that made Silverstein's name a household word: "Poemsicle," "Hula Eel," "Standing Is Stupid," "Moon-Catchin' Net," "Meehoo with an Exactlywatt," and dozens upon dozens more.

Silverstein's amusing, cartoonish line drawings are every bit as familiar and beloved to readers as his poems.

Falling Up

Falling Up All the things that children loved about A Light in the Attic and Where the Sidewalk Ends can be found in abundance in this eclectic 10th anniversary 184-page hardbound volume.

By turns cheeky and clever, the poems are vintage Silverstein, presented in a black-and-white format that duplicates his earlier books.

One child character wields a "Remote-a-Dad" that will instantly control his father, and another dreams of his teachers becoming his students so that when they talk or laugh in class, he can "pinch 'em 'til they cry."
