A Light in the Attic is a classic book of poems by Shel Silverstein. There are tons of silly poems in this book to read. Some are about strange people, animals, or objects. Some of them rhyme, and some not so much. Children will be amused and at the same time learn many different styles of poem writing. Poems are also a great way to work with students on fluency in reading.
The illustrations are in black and white, but that doesn't take away from their humor, such as the drawing of the little girl holding a cow over her head and shaking it, or the walrus that just got braces around his two big tusks.
