Book Reviews of A Light in the Attic

Book Review: This book isn't worth what I paid for.
Summary: 3 Stars

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.

Book Review: Funny poems to make you laugh!
Summary: 4 Stars

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.

Book Review: A kids perspective of the book.
Summary: 5 Stars

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

Book Review: The best book of all times, exiting and very funny.
Summary: 5 Stars

This poem book is the best yet, I have never read any poems as funny as the ones Shel Silverstein writes."A Light in the Attic" is a book for people of all ages.The whole class of seventh graders enjoyed it.We were laughing our heads out when we heard the poem,"Standing is Stupid".I recomend this book to anyone who is having a bad day and wants a moment of happiness!

Book Review: Fabulous Author and Books!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

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!
