Editorial Review:Last night while I lay thinking here
Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
And pranced and partied all night long
And sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?...
Here in the attic of Shel Silverstein you will find Backward Bill, Sour Face Ann, the Meehoo with an Exactlywatt, and the Polar Bear in the Frigidaire. You will talk with Broiled Face, and find out what happens when Somebody steals your knees, you get caught by the Quick-Digesting Gink, a Mountain snores, and They Put a Brassiere on the Camel.From the creator of the beloved poetry collections Where the Sidewalk Ends and Falling Up, here is another wondrous book of poems and drawings.

Rating:  - An inscrutable genius, writing in a language children instinctively comprehend
Your child just might be more capable of appreciating this marvelous book of poetry than you anticipate.
Here's our story. We had brought our child of 20 months to Disney World, at the invitation of her grandparents (my parents.)

Rating: - An amazing collection of Silverstein's illustrations, poems.
Next to the giving tree, this is the second most fondly remembered book of my childhood. The giving tree was read to me much earlier and more often and the strong moral message carried a deep resonance for a long time. This collection of poems was much lighter fare and entertained me for several years. There are a lot of poems and illustrations in here to tickle your childrens imaginations and help them think creatively about words. Fantastic!
Rating: - As sweet as they used to be
Silverstein is our favorite author of children's books. He is just perfect! In fact his works are as good for the parents as for their children. Whichever Silverstein's book I bought for any of my five children (each one of them has his own Silverstein), we have ALL read them. That includes my children, myself, and even sometimes my husband. "Light in the Attic" is no exception to that rule. I think that all of Shel's books are equally good. Check also Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook, A Giraffe ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Book!!
I have loved this book since I was a kid. I just recently bought this to replace my old ones (which I will always keep). This book is great for people of all ages!
Rating: - A really great book for children of all ages.
I love Shel Silverstein's books. I've purchased them as gifts for friends on several occasions. :-)
