A Light in the Attic

Summary: Funny and interesting
Review: "A Light in the Attic" is the funniest book I have ever read.It is a great book for people of all ages.Once I began reading it, I didn't want to put it down. I reccomend this book to anyone who is having a bad day and wants to feel good. This book will put a smile on your face. My favorite poem was Standing is Stupid.Everyone should have a book like this in their library at home, it's the best!

Summary: This book isn't worth what I paid for.
Review: A Light in the Attic didn't appeal to me as much as Where the Sidewalk Ends. Sure, there were some cute poems, such as "God's Wheel" and "Zebra Question." But most of the other poems looked like ol' Shel was trying too hard. My advice to you Shel fans: borrow this book from a friend or check it out at your local library if you want to buy it. To me, it wasn't worth what I paid for.

Summary: A great book I would recomend to anybody.
Review: A Light in the Attic is a great book of poems for kids. There are some GREAT poems, some pretty good poems, and some that made you think why you bought the book. Then you remember that most of the poems are great, just like Shel Silverstein. He has two great books , this and Where the Sidewalk Ends. It is a great book for kids and so are all the rest of them that he writes. I would recomend this book to anyone, even adults

Review: A lovely book. My brother is a 9 year old kid, and he just LOVES this book. He was influenced by Shel Silverstein, and he was so moved that he now has a collection of poems that he hopes to publish. This book really inspired him

Summary: the laughing stock
Review: Hula eels, magic carpets and tickilish tom are all things in A Light in the Attic. This hilarios book has fun filled poems all over! such as Little Abigail and the beautiful pony. What happens to Abigail when she doesn't get what she wants?
The author Shel Siverstein uses rymes through out the whole book to make it super funny. I would recomend this book if you like fantasy and magic. You will love these poems and be rolling on the floor laughing.

Summary: There's too many kids in this tub!
Review: I hadn't read Shel Silverstein for years until I recently picked up this ancient book of my youth. Looking at it now, I truly appreciate Silverstein's unique writing (maybe for the first time). It's difficult not to fall in love instantly with a man who makes cannibalism, monsters, and other ephemera kid friendly. Not to mention the fantastic illustrations and original verses of each poem. Interestingly, I saw real similarities with, of all people, Gary Larson ("The Far Side") down to the grotesque but can't-look-away illustrations. I would recommend this book to any child I know. These poems do not date and feel as fresh as when I read them as a young-un.

Summary: Fabulous Author and Books!!!
Review: I have loved Shel Silverstein's books since I was little. I have read each of the Light in the Attic and Where the Sidewalk Ends cover to cover more times than I can count. Now, I want to start reading them to my children. My son is still an infant, but I'll get so much enjoyment reading them to him anyway. The stories take me to different worlds and let my imagination run wild!
