The last work by Shel Silverstein, published posthumously. The cover descriptions states that it was a work in progress for twenty years. It follows the adventures of Runny Babbit in verse following the letter-swapping language of the animals of the green woods. So rather than being a bunny rabbit, he's a runny babbit. The tales are entertaining daily encounters with an interesting collection of friends and family. Although the jumbled wording could be challenging to a beginning reader, it's amazing how quickly one gets used to it and reads the stories as though they were "normally" written. The stories and verse are funny and entertaining, as are the standard Silverstein illustrations along the pottom of the bage. :)
Merit: Entertaining, if challenging language. Simple and entertaining line art.
Share: Read-to or read-with. Whitespace and font size categorize his work as transitional.
Appeal: Fun adventures presented in entertaining language & verse as well as humorous artwork.
