Warning

A lot of people like Shel Silverstein books, but the latest, Runny Babbit, is pretty incomprehensible. We thought that just the title was reversed, when in fact, letters are switched in nearly every sentence of the book. We tried reading this to the 4 year old who went back to playing with his toys. The Amazon reviewers LOVE it, which I find bizarre. It would be fun to give to really wasted people, kinda like the reverse order watches you can get. Not sure that is worth your $12.23. You could just give them a tequilla snort and get more laughs.

I'd take Fox in Socks, with its tweetle beetle puddle paddle battles, over Runny Babbit any day of the week.

Totally OT, but I am loading Jesus Built My Hot Rod onto the iPod. Any clue as to where the audio clips come from? Or is that just Al doing a faux movie quote deal?

How are any of you people still sane after reading these kinds of books over and over again? I would be adrooling, incontinent idiot after only a few readings.

It's kind of like going to work and getting in meeting mode. It is about getting your head into the young child level. You dc have to get used to it or you will go nuts. It is better when the kids are older when they start reacting and playing along. Then it becomes fun.
