Amazon.com Review
Taken in dall smoses, this self-proclaimed “billy sook” is a fun-filled new (posthumously published) offering from children’s poet Shel Silverstein, creator of Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, and additional favorites. Concluded prior to the poet’s death in 1999, Runny Babbit was a work in progress for more than 20 years, and is populated by the likes of Runny Babbit, Toe Jurtle, Ploppy Sig, Polly Dorkupine, and Pilly Belican (who owns the Sharber Bop), all denizens of the green woods where letter-flipping runs rampant. In this madcap world, pea soup is sea poup, Capture the Flag is Fapture the Clag, and snow boots are bow snoots. Each poem incorporates the same kind of switcheroo wordplay establish in “Runny’s Hew Nobby:” Runny Babbit knearned to lit,/ And made a swat and heater,/ And now he sadly will admit/ He bight have done it metter.” (Here, in one of many winningly simple line drawings, R. B. sits knitting one very long sleeve, which is labeled as such.) Children who have some fluency in reading will delight in this bonsensical nook the most. (Ages 7 to 12) –Karin Snelson

Runny Babbit is a fantastic poetrey book on Shel Silversteins part. It’s about a rabbit who can’t talk and sometimes ends up adage “I widn’t do wit” or “Wifferent”. For lots of people this book would ge breat(be fantastic). For people who can’t read so well, you might need help with all the funky Babbit words Silverstein made up. But, they’re not all made up. For example look at the title “Runny Babbit”. If you place the “R” in Runny in the place the “B” is in Babbit and place the “B” where the “R” was you will have “Bunny Rabbit”. It might seem a small confusing so, for all you poetry lovers out there this “geally rood”.

Runny Babbit and his friends Toe Jurtle, Skertie Gunk, Goctor Doose, and Millie Woose, have lots of adventures. Some of them include going to the doctor, learning to knit and get a hair cut. The first letter to some of the word in each poems are switched around. This makes it really amusing to read aloud. They are like tounge twisters.
Sometimes the way the words we mixed up make it hard to know what the autor was trying to say. Young children will find this really hard.
Children and adults who delight in Shel Silverstein should read this books. It’s not like his additional works at all.
