Light in the Attic

From brief lines meditating on light signals turning blue with orange and lavender spots and what happens when someone steals your knees to fairly long-winded verses on all the things the author has never done or the life one would lead if one were a rock star, this collection of poems and drawings by Shel Silverstein range from zany and bizarre to amusing and thoughtful. This funky volume follows in the footsteps of Edward Leer’s works, and whether you use it highly effectively to entertain small children or simply want a laugh yourself, A Light in the Attic is a sure way to get some chuckles.
