A Light in the Attic

A Light in the Attic is one of the funniest books I have read it's not the greatest, but it's pretty funny when you read it, I found it great and I think you would to. For example the poem Prayer of the Selfish Child is a very funny poem, that poem was the one that really surprised how the author expresses the child's thoughts. If you really read this you would understand me how I said this poem expresses itself the poem goes like this," Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep, and if I die before I awake, I pray the lord my toys to break, so no one of the other kids can use'em, amen." That there I found was very: hilarious, weird, selfish kid, good poem in such little words and very obtain how it tells the story. I liked how if you really read it with thought and feelings you can hear the reader's voice, for example it says, "I pray the lord my toys to break so no one of the other kids can use'em. I recommend kids to read this book many of the poems are filled with entertaining stories they're sense of humor is very touching to me, like some poems are so good that you can really hear the characters voice, and it comes out with loud and clear expirations like the poem "prayer of the selfish child." What I thought the book needed is that they should add where the funny parts are for the kids, and were the poems like with ought sense of humor for some adults with out sense of humor. Many of those poems inspire great ideas and get your hopes up after a tuff day, or a very disappointing day of work or school, I inspire kids and adults of any age to read these poems and see for themselves that it is great. This book is very: interesting, funny, cool, and fun to read. But there are some problems in this book I would give this book a 4, well that's my opinion some other persons might be different from mine. The reason I say that is because not all the poems are so great they're just good, some of the poems need more to juice up the poem. For example the story "Snake problem," when I read it I really disliked it, this poem is so simple and boring. It goes like this " It's not that I don't care for snakes, but oh what do you do when a 24-foot python says ... that really wasn't good. After all I enjoyed this book and I hope some one else does too.

Shel Siverstein is the best! Great for boys and girls 7-13, even adults! Introduces 'kids' of all ages to fun poetry.

This poetry book is filled with funny, creative poems that children love to read, and often enjoy reading aloud. In fact it encourages kids to read aloud, good readers, and makes slower readers WANT to read aloud because they are so much fun. Appropriate for good readers as early as second grade, and all the way up to fourth and fifth grades. I have 2 books by this poet.
