This book is good for k-5.
This book is made of of very many poems and they are based on what the child is thinking in the moment. A light in the attic refers to the creativity and imagination you can have in your brain.
I would use this in my classroom as a way for students that are slightly behind in reading to help them become more confident in reading. ( )

This book would be for all ages. This book is full o fmnay silly and heartwarming poems that I would use to calm my class down and or during some free time.

I have read some other Shel Silverstein books before but not this one. I really enjoyed it. It has a collection of short and medium-length poems. They are all silly and nonsensical. The illustrations that go along with the poems enhance them and they are silly themselves. There is a unique art style in all of these illustrations. They look like sketches and are all in black and white. Silverstein uses a mix of rhyming words and words that do not rhyme in his poems. This book would be great for introducing young readers to a style of poetry. I would love to use this book to read a poem or two a day to a class during the end of class time.

A cute and funny accumulation of poetry that is family friendly. ( )
