Where the Sidewalk Ends
: :If you've heard Shel Silverstein's bawdy Freakin' at the Freakers Ball, your notion of the man who wrote Where the Sidewalk Ends might've been skewered. Silverstein was nothing if not a tad twisted. But his twists and turns in 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.

At the outset, we're introduced to everykid Nelson, whose parents are contemplating the consequences of reading their scary-dream-susceptible son a hair-raising tale about the humungous lizardlike creatures he spends his every waking hour obsessing over. At Nelson's insistence, they proceed--but not before his mom helpfully reminds him that he can control the outcome of nightmares. Once the ...

Chicken Soup for Little Souls: Mother's Love
: :Looking for a Mother's Day gift you can buy so your kids can give it to you come Mom's Day? Here it is: 14 songs that celebrate mothers and all of their wise, weary, and tender ways. You've got to love a record that features gospel's Dixie Hummingbirds singing Paul Simon's 'Loves Me Like a Rock,' the Shirelles' 'Mama Said' ('there'd be days like this...'), and Doris Day, that prototype '60s mom, extolling the knowledge of 'Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera).'
