Product Description


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?...

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Shel Silverstein's A Light in the Attic is now available in a special edition containing the classic hardcover book and a CD of highlights from his Grammy Award-winning album.

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.

Product Review Summary: Great reading !

I bought this book to read to my 5 year old grandaughter & grandson. My wife & I babysit them after school & it's now a routine to read to them. They love the pictures & get to pick out the reading for the day. Some of the poems they pick out repeatedly to be read to them. We enjoy the quality time & it takes the place of the usual request to watch videos ! You can't beat any of Shel Silverstein's books for grabbing a kid's attention. Amazingly, they love this book more than Dr. Seuss !

Product Review Summary: Incomplete order...

This is just the book I had been looking for !! I was excited that it was the anniversary edition complete with CD !!! It arrived right on schedule but when I opened it there was NO CD !! I wrote to Amazon about the problem then, but my note was not answered. I still have not heard from them and am very discouraged that nothing has been done.

Product Review Summary: Classic

This is a children's classic...appropriate from the age 6-7 years old and up. I read many of the stories to my two boys. My 7 year old now reads some of the poems himself. The writing is brief and witty...the illustrations are basic but appropriate for the quirky writing style.

Product Review Summary: One of My Favorites

Shel Silverstein is hands down, one of my favorite poets. I love this addition of "Attic" because it comes with a CD of poems read by Silverstein. Since I was a kid, my favorite Silverstein poem has been "Ladies First." After re-reading his work, and listening to the CD, I have to say that "Clarence" is new a favorite.

Product Review Summary: Great Classic

A great classic, well made in hardcover and comes with a cd that has poems on it being read by the author. Very fun and funky book!
