A Light in the Attic (Special Edition with 12 Extra Poems) Edition: 2009

This is a better copy of the book. At the time I uploaded this none of the copies included the drawings of the book that go with the poems which makes it much less entertaining. This PDF contains both the poems and images. Originally published in 1974 this edition, published in 1981 and reissued again in 2009 is a special edition that contains an additional 12 poems. It’s great to share with the children in your life. The book comes with some controversy as people and organizations have tried to censor or ban it. Here’s the scoop on that from Wikipedia: Attempts have been made to ban the book from some libraries, parents claiming that the poem "How Not To Have To Dry The Dishes" encourages messiness and disobedience. The poem "Little Abigail and the Beautiful Pony" led to more criticism for describing the death of a girl after her parents refuse to buy her a pony. This led the book to be banned by the Fruitland Park Elementary School in Lake County, Florida. The decision, however, [...]was later reversed by an advisory committee of parents and teachers.Other complaints included the mention of supernatural themes, including demons, devils, and ghosts.
