A Light in the Attic

I bought all of Shel Silverstein books when I first began teaching elementary school 25 years ago and I still use it today! These books are classics! The humor he uses in his poetry hits kids' funny bone all of the time! He writes in a variety of poetic styles, so many types of poetry examples can be used and students can use these as mentor texts to write their own various forms of poetry. I can't say enough good things about...

My favorite book of Shel's so fair and the book was in great condition.

Love this book the most out of all Shel's works. When I'm feeling down, I just read this book and my mood improves. The book didn't come with a book cover, but I'm fine with that. The book had no marks, rips, tears, bends or writing in it. Looks like it could be brand new even.

Whimsical and fun

I love this book! It’s fun book to read to your kids. I used to Read this book to my youngest. She thought it was cute and funny. My 10-year-old really gets a kick out of it. It’s pretty easy to read and has pictures almost on every page.

Okay, maybe we can’t eliminate censorship (yet...#goals), but we can celebrate Banned Books Week with gusto by reading all of the stories that someone (or someones) tried to silence, destroy, or restrict access to. Here are 50 of the most frequently banned and/or most recently challenged books, along with the "who, why, and how" of literary censorship in America.
