A Light in the Attic

Amazing children's poetry book can't recommend this enough. I have purchased this book a few times and given them away over the years, felt like it was time to get myself another copy.

"A Light in the Attic Special Edition," complete with 12 extra poems, is not merely a book but a treasure chest of whimsy and wonder from the inexhaustible imagination of Shel Silverstein. This edition is like rediscovering an old friend who still has new stories to tell. The magic of Silverstein's work lies in its ability to transcend age. These poems and illustrations are a delightful romp through the absurd, the poignant, and the profound, appealing to the child in all of us. It's like being handed a key to a secret garden where the flowers whisper jokes and the trees tell tall tales. The addition of 12 extra poems is like finding hidden tracks on your favorite album. Each new poem is a gem, shining with Silverstein's unique blend of humor, heart, and a dash of the surreal. They fit seamlessly into the tapestry of the original collection, making you wonder how you ever did without them. The illustrations, quintessentially Silverstein, are as much a part of the experience as the words. Each drawing, with its quirky lines and expressive characters, is a visual echo of the poem it accompanies. They're like dance partners, perfectly in step with each other's rhythm. TL;DR: "A Light in the Attic Special Edition" with 12 extra poems is a delightful expansion to Shel Silverstein's classic. It's a book that invites readers, young and old, to step into a world where imagination runs free and laughter is just a page-turn away. This special edition is not just a read; it's a joyous journey.

I got the three of these for my grandchildren for Christmas. These were books I read when I was little, my daughter has copies of them that she cherishes and because the grandkids weren’t careful with hers, I bought a full set for my grandbabies. His poems are classics for a reason!

Really good book. We love Shel’s collection.

This was bought as a Christmas gift. Granddaughter loves the book. Pricing and delivery were great.

A core memory gift for my mother. She loves the book!

Arrived as promised. Slightly used. Has some stains on the page edges. But I knew that going in. Love this book!

Very silly and very fun book. Shel Silverstein is awesome. This book is sometimes a little inappropriate, but that’s what makes it fun.

The cover needed a little cleaning but solid.

Silverstein aveva tanti talenti. Questo libro è un esempio della sua capacita di scrivere poesia per bambini e adulti. Era un genio.

Es un clásico que debemos de tener
