This is technically just a drawing of kids on strike. My favorite illustration of this is his poem Union for Children’s Rights. Silverstein definitely captures what it means to be a child. I just washed a behind that I’m sure wasn’t mine, There’s too many kids in this tub (86). Another all-time favorite of mine is Crowded Tub. Lord knows what they’ve got in mind for the cow, Since they’ve put a brassiere on the camel (166). They squeezed her into it, I’ll never know how, They say she looks more respectable now. They’ve put a brassiere on the camel, The camel had nothing to say.
(The picture is quite memorable.) They’ve put a brassiere on the camel, They claim she’s more decent this way. Accompanying the poem, is a camel looking dazed and confused and wearing a brassiere. For example, They’ve Put A Brassiere On The Camel is a wonderfully funny poem. Nonsense poems definitely play an important role in A Light In The Attic. But above all there are poems that capture life and all of its varying experiences. There are poems about everyday childhood experiences. There are many different types of poems in A Light in the Attic. Many of the poems have been my favorites for years. It is hard to know exactly where to begin reviewing such an excellent collection. Some of his other books are more philosophical than humorous. He is also the author of other books such as The Giving Tree, Lafcadio, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets The Big O, Who Wants A Cheap Rhinoceros and A Giraffe and A Half. (Silverstein’s other works include Where The Sidewalk Ends and Falling Up. There are many wonderful poems included in this volume. Silverstein’s work is a humorous treat to readers of all ages.
