Review: A Light in the Attic Special Edition: Shel Silverstein's Enchanting Encore - "A Light in the Attic Special Edition," complete with 12 extra poems, is not merely a book but a treasure chest of whimsy and wonder from the inexhaustible imagination of Shel Silverstein. This edition is like rediscovering an old friend who still has new stories to tell. The magic of Silverstein's work lies in its ability to transcend age. These poems and illustrations are a delightful romp through the absurd, the poignant, and the profound, appealing to the child in all of us. It's like being handed a key to a secret garden where the flowers whisper jokes and the trees tell tall tales. The addition of 12 extra poems is like finding hidden tracks on your favorite album. Each new poem is a gem, shining with Silverstein's unique blend of humor, heart, and a dash of the surreal. They fit seamlessly into the tapestry of the original collection, making you wonder how you ever did without them. The illustrations, quintessentially Silverstein, are as much a part of the experience as the words. Each drawing, with its quirky lines and expressive characters, is a visual echo of the poem it accompanies. They're like dance partners, perfectly in step with each other's rhythm. TL;DR: "A Light in the Attic Special Edition" with 12 extra poems is a delightful expansion to Shel Silverstein's classic. It's a book that invites readers, young and old, to step into a world where imagination runs free and laughter is just a page-turn away. This special edition is not just a read; it's a joyous journey. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #44,908 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Children's Humorous Poetry #24 in Stories in Verse #97 in Children's Classics | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (7,307) | | Dimensions | 8.8 x 7 x 1 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0060256737 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0060256739 | | Item Weight | 1.3 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 1981 | | Publisher | HarperCollins | | Reading age | 4+ years, from customers | ## Images ![A Light in the Attic - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oB5+xhRYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Money well spent *by P***M on March 23, 2026* Amazing children's poetry book can't recommend this enough.
