Shel Silverstein's A Light in the Attic, is one of his anthologies of poetry. It has over 120 poems. They include "Homework Machine," "They've Put a Brassiere on the Camel," "Messy Room," and "Backward Bill." Some poems are two pages long and others are just four sentences. But they are always funny or ironic.
This is one of the most famous poem anthology books ever created. I think that Shel Silverstein is one of the best children's poets. He makes poetry fun and easy. You do not have to do much thinking, and each poem will bring a smile to your face, or even make you laugh out loud. This is a great book for children that are scared of poetry. And this is a great book for adults that could use a chuckle.
