In Where the Sidewalk Ends the reader is introduced to such fabulous characters as Jimmy Jet turning into his TV set and Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout who would not take the garbage out. Also included in this collection are instructions for making a hippopotamus sandwich or me-stew. Every page of this book is a delight to the reader of any age. A fun way to enjoy the book is to have friends color in the pages. It is a revealing look at which poem they choose and fun to do. This book is pure fun with a chuckle or laugh out loud on every page.
