Book Reviews of Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook
Book Review: "A Billy Sook."
Summary: 5 Stars
This crazy title gives some idea of what's going on between the covers of award-winning author/artist Shel Silverstein's bew nook, er, new book. You are now entering the backwards land of Toe Jurtle, Skertie Gunk, Rirty Dat and Dungry Hog, an imaginative series of adventures where all and sundry speak Runny Babbit talk.
Each page has a new rhyme (rhew nyme?) and one of Silverstein's humorous and endearing black and white illustrations, lines guaranteed to keep your child guffawing with the silly sounds that come from saying things backwards:
"When Ramma Mabbit started teachin'
Runny how to eat,
He ficked his pood up with his ears,
He wasn't very neat."
There's the rhyme about "His Kajesty the Ming", "Runny the Fricken Charmer", "Runny's Garty Pames" and "Runny Shearns to Lare."
Runny discovers the library:
"Runny lent to the wibrary
And there were bundreds of hooks-
Bistory hooks, beography gooks,
And lots and lots of bory stooks." ("Runny's Heading Rabits")
A wild celebration of the antics of language run amok, Silverstein has created page after page of laughs for children to read, challenging their reading and comprehension skills, the reward an hour of giggles. The author must have realized we would have our favorites- he added a table of contents listing each of the silly titles. Don't forget to "Bead a Rook" with your kid! (For all ages, but especially for a hysterical time with a favorite grandchild.) Luan Gaines/2005.
