I have been buying this book and Where the Sidewalk Ends as gifts for children for many years. As a reading teacher, I guarantee these books certainly will get kids into reading very funny poetry. Many of the now "grown up" kids tell me they still have this book from their childhood. That's a pretty good review in itself. |

I grew up reading a lot of Shel Silverstein's poems. I'm partial to "Where the Sidewalk Ends" simply because the poems from that book were read to me more often and I became more familiar with the poems from that book vs. this one. However, that being said, this book certainly deserves all 5 stars. Shel is a classic poet and is so much fun to read! I would also recommend "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. Enjoy! |

My grandmother bought this book for me when I was six years old, and I spent countless hours laughing at the poetry and looking at the illustrations. A wonderful book, definitely; very humorous, a great gift for any child. I cannot pick my favorite poem from this book, they are all so hilarious; the time spent reading these stories with my mother, grandparents, or friends when I was a child, is priceless. |

Light in the Attic is a collection of poems that are as much fun as a barrel of monkeys. Shel Silverstein writes poems that are silly, wacky and make you laugh right out loud. If you are having a bad day, read some of the poems in this book and your day will get better right away. I would recommend this book to any people from 2 years old to 100 years old. |

This is a book of funny poems kids might like. The poems are about silly things like a babysitter sitting on babies! Some also tell stories. Some poems are so funny like Prayer of the Selfish Kid, Spelling Bee, Something Missing, and How Not to Dry the Dishes. I like this book because I love poems that make me laugh. If you like poems you will love this book. |

I have to say that Shel Silverstein deserves a lot of credit... his poetry opens the door of rhyme and verse for so many children who are blessed to find this book in their hands. I have the best memories of first reading this book as a youngster back in the early 1980's... my brother and I would take turns reading our favorites to each other for hours. We'll never forget you Shel! Your poetic genius will continue to inspire the multitudes! |

If you don't remember these rhymes from your childhood, then it's about time you visited the attic, "A Light in the Attic," that is. Silverstein combines humorous sketches, whimsical poetry and fanciful word play in another amusing collection. "Where the Sidewalk Ends" will always be my favorite, but poems like "Spelling Bee," "Deaf Donald," "Nobody" and "Little Abigail and the Beautiful Pony" definately make "A Light in the Attic" a close runner-up.
If you know Silverstein's work, then you are familiar with his simple rhyming style. His flair for combining drawings and words make for a book that's much more than just a collection of poetry. His poems are an experience that would be diminished without the visual aspect.
Silverstein's collections are great for all ages. I read them as a kid, but I enjoy them just as much now. Silverstein has the soul of a child, but the wit of a sage.
"The saddest thing I ever did see
Was a woodpecker peckin' at a plastic tree.
He looks at me, and 'Friend,' says he,
'Things ain't as sweet as they used to be.'" |

I love this book as I read and read it as a child. It is a great family fun book as you can read each one until every person in your family has them all memorized and still never get bored. My eight-year-old daughter has now recently found a love for poems, and reads a selection each night. She has really enjoyed this book and I watch the expression on her face and the enjoyment through her eyes. Nobody should grow up without this book! |
