Book Reviews of A Light in the Attic
Book Review: FANTASTIC
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a funny book. It was one of the best I have read if not the best. I love Here Comes, Never, Ations, and Fancy Dive. Those are some of my favorites. I really like all the poems though. Shel Silverstein is a great poet and writer. I love all of his books very much. I don't know if this is true, but people say he doesn't like children. I find this hard to believe because he writes all these books for them. Oh well, he is a great writer and excellent poet. As I said before, I love all of his poems in this book but my favorite is AtionsBook Review: good for a lifetime
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up with many shel silverstien books, but my favorite always being a light in the attic. Through my life, many have been misplaced, (with the exception of a few), and now I have a daughter of my own. She's only 3 months old, but i knew as soon as i found out i was pregnant that she had to have her own copy of a light in the attic. no matter how old i get, i still get a kick out of the poems, and i read them to my little baby, and i just know she'll love them when she can understand. this is truly a book that can stand the test of time.
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.
