Summary: In this beautifully imaginative poem by Shel Silverstein there is a boy who watched TV so much that he himself turned into a TV set. His parent's tell the tale of how he watched TV from morning until night , and how his grew into his chair, he face into a TV screen, and he even grew a plug. So, now his parents watch him, instead.
Review: Its so important for a child to keep up their imagination especially in the upper grades of middle school as they begin to encounter more analytic and critical thinking questions. Silverstein's poems also have fun and silly poems that children will enjoy and I will definitely have a copy of Where the Sidewalk Ends. This is also great for any Poetry lessons where children are learning to find meaning in poems.
