Description
A boy who turns into a TV set and a girl who eats a whale are only two of the characters in a collection of humorous poetry written and then recorded by Shel Silverstein. His twists and turns in the world of children's arts were well considered and infectiously charming. When he recorded poems and rhymes from Sidewalk, the book was nearly a decade old. But he brought the words to life, albeit a funky, sometimes nasally delivered, sometimes abruptly jolted life. Silverstein knew that his changes in voice pitch, his quickly dashed mixes of spare guitar and pinched singsong delivery, and, most of all, his rhythmically fetching words were ideal for hearing. Sidewalk took home a 1984 Grammy for best children's album.
