A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein
Containing one hundred thirty-one poems and illustrations by the author, A Light in the Attic, is a lighthearted book of poetry for the younger set. The title poem is likely the most famous one from this volume, however others in this book have caused the book itself to come under fire. Some attempts to ban the book have been made in relation to this book because some believe that the poem "How Not to Dry the Dishes" encourages disobedience in children, and Little Abigail and the Beautiful Pony" describe the death of parents after refusing to buy their child a pony.
