5.0 out of 5 stars THE GREATEST POETRY BOOK FOR CHILDREN, 22 Jun 2000
By chez.steve@ukonline.co.uk (Leominster, England) - See all my reviews
A dear friend bought this book for your 8 week old baby daughter, Lauren Eddette, as "you never grow out of books but she will clothes!" It has opened a door to a world of excellent prose which we had never entered before and my partner, Steve, and I never want to close and hopefully our daughter will want to "dash in and out" for the rest of her life. The poems are just what children (and adults) want to fire their imagination and get them hooked. My favourite is "Little Boy and the Old Man", but there are so many wonderful poems that it is hard to stop at one favourite! We only wished that this book had been on our own Curiculum when we were at School. On the strength of reading this book we have ordered 3 more books by the same author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and interesting, 20 April 1999
By A Customer
"A Light in the Attic" is the funniest book I have ever read.It is a great book for people of all ages.Once I began reading it, I didn't want to put it down. I reccomend this book to anyone who is having a bad day and wants to feel good. This book will put a smile on your face. My favorite poem was Standing is Stupid.Everyone should have a book like this in their library at home, it's the best!
