Editorial Review:
Reader Reviews for Runny Babbit: Customer Rating: Summary: beat gruy Comment: Our family always talks in Spoonerisms, so buying this book was a no-brainer. If you love brain teasers this is the book for you. My own children grew up asking for dot hogs and I would tell them I was about to shake a tower. Now, I am enjoying this book with my grandchildren who are only 5, 4, 3 and 2, but already the two oldest are trying to come up with clever ones of their own. One of our new favorites: Pocoa Cuffs This books leads to giggles and much frivolity! Customer Rating: Summary: LOVE IT!! Comment: I got this book as a shower gift for my daughter. I started reading it to her and I fell in love with the book. I cannot wait to have my daughter start reading it to me. I bought this book for my friend's daughter who is turning 1. I know she is going to love it as much as I do. I am going to start buying all of Shel Silverstein books for my daughter. Customer Rating: Summary: Not funny, hard to read Comment: I have been a Silverstein fan since my childhood, so I was excited to purchase this book for my son; however, this book was a big disappointment. (I found out later that it was finished after his death, so maybe that has something to do with it.) It would have been ok if one or two of the poems were written in this style (of transposing the letters as in the name of the book), but it's every single poem and it makes it hard to read and not funny or silly at all. I regret buying the book and wish I had purchased one of his older titles. Customer Rating: Summary: Another awesome Shel book Comment: Another 5 stars for Shel. His poetry keeps my now 12 year old in love with reading. She started to read his books at 7 years old and has fallen in love with reading because of them! Customer Rating: Summary: My grandfather would have loved this book! Comment: He used to use "Spoonerisms" like "The Pee Little Thrigs" to make us grandchildren laugh. The animal characters in this book, from Runny Babbit to Rirty Dat to Skertie Gunk, are chunny and farming. But I guess "Fenton Duck" was kicked out of the final draft? Ha ha ha! ;)
