A Light in the Attic (1981)

I think I'll come back to this one a few times. Not sure whether I like it, per se, but it kept me entertained. ( )

Included is a 20th Anniversary CD performed by the author ( )

Poetry- lyrical

This book has different poems in it. The first, A Light in the Attic, is about the mysterious light and how it shines through the dark. The next, Stop Thief, is about a police officer who stops the bad guy. Backwards Bill is a silly poem about how he does everything backwards, including riding his horse. And finally, It's Hot, is about a boy who can't seem to cool down even though he try's things like using a fan and drinking cold lemonade.

I think this is a good book because it offers a variety of poems for the child to read. It has a lot of rhymes to keep things fun and interesting. I think this book could use some colors in the pictures though, rather than being all black and white.

I grew up with my teacher reading this book to us in school. Later I found it and picked it up and another one by Shel Silverstein. ( )
