Favorites from the book! Written and performed by Shel himself! He doesn’t just recite his poetry-he really throws himself into it like a full-blown performance! My students loved his books, especially “Where the Sidewalk Ends”, and were thoroughly impressed with Shel’s hilarious performance on this CD. Anyone who thinks they don’t like poetry will probably change their mind after listening to this. Most of my students learned to open their minds to poetry and this was a big contribution to that.
