Book Reviews of A Light in the Attic
Book Review: Poetry Motivator
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a Reading/Literacy teacher for over 30 years and used this book to help introduce my students to how fun poetry could be. At the end of class time, if I had a few extra minutes, I would read a few poems alous. I feel this helped instill a new awareness of the joys of poetry in many of my studens. I recently bouth a new copy (I had given my old one to a cousin, who also is a reading reacher) to read to my Mother who is a resident in a nursing home. She really seemed to enhoy the humor of these poems and illustrations.Book Review: Reading "Summer" got me the most applause.
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked "A Light in the Attic" off the poetry table, so I could read an impromptu poem at a poetry reading evening. We were at Barnes and Nobel, in Georgetown. Shel Silverstein is a favorite of my daughter. It was June 17. Others read their own poems and one by Gelbran. I chose "Summer" because it was short and topical. I read it with expression, especially the "Burrr" part. I got more applause than anyone else and had funBook Review: The Goodness of a Good Book
Summary: 5 Stars
A Light in the Attic is a great book. I don't know why people would want to ban this book. Just because they have an illustration of a guy without any pants is no reason to ban this book. There are lots of other good poems and funny illustrations in that book than just the one with the guy without pants. So if you don't like it than just don't read that certain poem because there are lots more good poems in that book and that's the goodness of a good book.Book Review: Great book for people of all ages!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book!! I remember doing a play in elementary school, where we acted out his poems. My skit was to "Hot Dog"-pg.69. I looked as silly as the picture, dragging a hot dog out onto the stage, on a leash. It's been over 20 years since I was first introduced to Shel's poems & I still get a kick out of reading them!
"Where the Sidewalk Ends" & "A Light In The Attic" by: Shel Silverstein make Great gifts for a child of any age!!!
Book Review: the laughing stock
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
