Book Synopsis

There's a light on in the attic.
I can see it from outside,
And I know you're on the inside ... lookin' out.

Step inside the mind of Shel Silverstein and you'll discover a magic homework machine, a Polar Bear in the fridge and a Meehoo With an Exactlywatt. But beware stolen knees, the babysitter who likes to squash children - and the nighttime peril of the Whatifs!
This is the second book of beloved poems and pictures from the marvellous master of nonsense, Shel Silverstein.
