A Light in the Attic

And pranced and partied all night long
And sang their same old Whatif song:

    I recently found both this book and where the sidewalk ends on cd, I still love both just as much as when I was little.

    Guess I still love Where the Sidewalk Ends best of Shel Silverstein - and have the haunting feeling he is still walking around Sausalito...used to hang at The Tides Bookstore where I hungout a bit. Wonderful reading for children - of all ages.

    This is such a fun book to read out loud. Some of the humor may be over the head of a toddler but much of it is so enjoyable, from the illustrations to the rhymes to the themes. Lots of choices, none too long, it's a good one for the bedtime shelf.
