This book is truly for all ages! From K-adults, this book is for everyone. It encompasses an array of different kinds of poems including humor, and depth, with fun illustrations, there is something for everyone in this book!

Pretty Interesting book. Illustrations looks a bit creepy for kids. The poems are really good and make sense. The drawings are also really good sketched out. Words in the book are small for a kid to follow. Maybe a good book for older children, and will be able to understand poetry. ( )

A collection of all different length poems ranging from absolutely nonsense to deep and meaningful. This book was a childhood favorite of mine and my sisters along with his other three and can recite his Knock Knock poem almost word for word. A great book for poetry to show how fun and silly poetry can be while still being engaging and thought provoking. Can be used across many different grade levels and a great addition to any classroom.

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. ( )

Mr. Silverstein's work remains a must for lovers of good verse for children. Quite like nobody else, he is still a master of delectable outrage and the proprietor of a surprisingly finely tuned sensibility.
