Book Reviews of Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book: A Primer for Adults Only
Book Review: Ponies love sugar!
Summary: 5 Stars
Whoever said this book is not for children is a complete moron. I read this book when I was a wee tot and I'm fine. Kids love this stuff. A great Christmas/Hannukah (sp?)/Kwanza (sp?)/miscellaneous present to teach kids that literature can be both funny AND informative! Get this for your kids, along with "Hope for the Flowers"! Gotta love that potty training page. What was this stuff doing in Playboy magazine, I wonder. If you don't like this book then all your friends will laugh at you and you're different and strange. Inside a car is a pony that powers the car. This is called "horse power". Ponies love sugar! I miss Shel Silverstein. What a great writer! And I'm not just talking about "The Cover of the Rolling Stone"! RIP.
And remember there is NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!
Book Review: A welcome thumb in the eye of media watchdogs!
Summary: 5 Stars
With our entire nation paranoid about the media's supposed "depraved" influence on our children, it's refreshing to read a book that wears its corrupting influence on its sleeve (and by Shel Silverstein, no less!). For an idea of the hilarious, whimsical bad advice contained within, consider: "I is for ink. Ink is black and wet. What else can you do with ink? What rhymes with ink? (HINT: D R _ _ _.)"Book Review: This needs 6 stars... no 100!

Summary: 5 Stars
If you love children, but can laugh at them as well as the silly ways we educate them, this book is for you. As a mother, an educator, and a lover of humanity, I heartily recommend this book to anyone who gets a kick out of intelligent, but not sadistic by any means, satire. This stuff is ice cream compared to the cartoons children watch these days. I shared the book with my 13 year old neice, but will wait a few years to share it with my now 5 year old son, simply because he wouldn't "get it." If you fear your child would actually follow Uncle Shelby's advice, well, Shel's not to blame for that, is he.
