Summary: Funny poems to make you laugh!
Review: If you like this book, and the subversive worlds of George Booth, Ogden Nash or Shel Silverstein, then you should pick up Nick Bantock's (of Gryphon & Sabine fame), "Averse to Beasts," a book with cassette whose dangerous little ditties rival Silverstein's in their hilarity with a dose of arsenic.

Summary: Policeman, Policeman, help me please!
Review: Policeman, policeman, help me please! This book is tickling both my knees! And the rest of my skeletal system, as well! Read all about the baby-sitter, and the Lord's Prayer (in view of the kid with all the cool toys), and what to do if you don't wanna do the dishes, and why is it that there's nothing on interesting on TV???? This book is a must-read for all those who have a wild sense of humor. Speaking of which, I read this to a little girl about four years old. She loved the book so much she memorized passages, such as that Lord's Prayer one. Unfortunately, her father was a VERY strict Catholic and now every time I visit them with a book to read to her, I have to run it by them so that it would pass the "Light In the Attic" test! Apparently, that little Lord's Prayer poem and the Baby-Sitter poem didn't "sit" too well with them (sorry, inside joke). Policeman, policeman, help me please

Summary: A great read for poem fans!
Review: Shel Silverstein does it again. This time with "A Light in the Attic". A great compelation of poems that will have you laughing throughout the day. When I first picked this book up, I couldn't put it down for its gripping the reader techniques with such humorous poems. With characters in his poems ranging from any animal to any human, this book definitely has variety. I love the way Shel is able to rhyme things together and come up with such great stories in his poems......this is very evident in this book.Most of th peoms run about half a page, some long, some short. All of course, though, have humor and really show the work put in to them. This poem book is one of Silverstein's finest and deserves some sort of award. I want to thank Shel Silverstein for creating such a wonderful poem book and such great ideas that make you want to read the whole book in one sitting. That would definitely take time though it would be worth it. As you can see, I really recommend anyone of any age buying this book so they can enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you for reading my review and have a nice day!!

Summary: recommended reading material for all ages.
Review: Shel Silversteing seems to bring out the pure essence of us all. A Light in the Attic is just one of the many books that Shel Silverstein has written and in my opinion the most brilliant of all of his work. I am a 32 year old mother of 2 and have enjoyed sharing his writing with both of my children.

Review: Shel Silverstien will always have a close connection to my childhood. I loved reading his poems when I was younger and reading them now brings me back for a moment. This is a great addition to "The Giving Tree" and "Where the Sidewalk Ends."

Review: This book was like the bomb ! Well I'm not gonna exagerate about it that much! I liked the poem called "My dad gave me one dollar bill". I think this was probably a six year old kiddo that didn't really know that much about money. Well that's all I'm gonna write for know my hands are getting kind of sore!

Summary: A kids perspective of the book.
Review: This is the best book of poetry I have read recently. I am in
fifth grade and just checked out both of Shel's books last night
...again. My favorite peom is Ladies First (on page 148)
because it makes you think never to be first or the best all
of the time. These poems make me laugh all the time I read
them. I recommend this book to anyone who likes funny poems and enjoys to laugh. Jare
