Rated 5 starsA 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...

Rated 5 starsMy 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.

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.
