Shel Silverstein: Where the Sidewalk Ends (EBook, 2019, HarperCollins) 4 stars

Come in... for where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silverstein's world begins. You'll meet a boy …

I WON'T HATCH!

Oh I am a chickie who lives in an egg, But I will not hatch, I will not hatch. The hens they all cackle, the roosters all beg, But I will not hatch, I will not hatch. For I hear all the talk of pollution and war As the people all shout and the airplanes roar, So I'm staying in here where it's safe and it's warm, And I WILL NOT HATCH!
