Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein is a fun book full of poems written by Silverstein. These poems are enjoyable for children of all ages (and adults). I grew up reading this, and his other books of poems, constantly. It exposes children to poetry and they are very creative and interesting, so children enjoy them very much. It is also fun to memorize favorite poems out of the book (I did this as a child and in school). The illustrations are also done by Shel Silverstein. The drawings are black and white, simple, yet fun pictures to go along with the poems.
