Runny Babbit is a new book from my favorite children’s poet, Shel Silverstein. The entire concept is an exchange of letters from one word in a line to another. I know that if I had just sat down and read this myself, I would have tired of the concept quickly. But luckily, I have a poetry-loving eight year old to share books with. We shared this one over the course of several bedtimes, decoding the real meaning of the poems after happily reading the mixed-up versions aloud.
So our final verdict? A perfectly billy sook perfect to kare with shids who whether they pove loetry or not.
