A Light in the Attic

Shel Silverstein / Published 1981

Silverstein's book . . . deserves to be placed along-side Mother Goose. Popular with adults and youngsters alike, the poetry encompasses satires, limericks, ballads, questions, tall stories, ridiculous situations, and a deft way with language."--Language Arts. An ALA Notable Children's Book; School Library Journal Best Book of 1981. Full-color illustrations.

Customer Report:
This book is in my humble opinion one of the timely classics of my generation. There is a contagious misconseption these days that for litirature to be considered mature it has to also be soley serious. But one of the true characteristics of maturity is the ability to be silly. Shel Silverstein has discovered that delicate balence and imortilized in this book of poetry. He is a literary genuse who inspirs millions with his funloving imajination and his witty aproach to life in itself. He makes me want to write and makes me want to think. I dont suppose you can ask much more from an auther.
