Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

5th grader Caryn says, "Get ready to not put this book down. After you read this book, you will be filled with happiness and laughter. I love books, especially poetry books. I recommend this to anyone who wants to have a fun time while reading! My favorite poem is called "Sick."

5th grader Kayla says, "All of the poems were funny and none were the same. I thought they were all great. My favorite was called "Smart." It was one of the funniest of them all. I thought it was funny because it's about a kid who started out with a dollar and ended up with five pennies because he said that five was more than one. All of the poems were very interesting.

Once students become pretty good readers, chapter books are for them. This is where your imagination really kicks in and a well written story brings fantasy to life.
