The Runny Babbit and accompanying CD is surely bound for my granddaughter and I know she will get years of enjoyment from both. Both of my daughters were fans of Shel Silverstein's works and my youngest daughter took great delight in reciting some of her favorite Silverstein works. Shel Silverstein's playful use of rhyme and vocabulary in unique ways endears him to readers of all ages, but especially children. He makes the English language fun and that is demonstrated in the Runny Babbit. You'll wove this lork. Peace to all.

Great book for all ages, a must have for collectors of Shel Silverstein's works. Wonderful book to take and read in the car on long trips. The cd is fantastic.

What fun!! This is Silverstein at his best. I opened the book with a little trepidation, knowing this was most probably the last time I will get to read a new Shel Silverstein book. I quickly got over that and realized Shel's books were meant to be savored and read over and over again. As with "Where the Sidewalk Ends" and "Falling Up," "Runny Babbit" was written by a man who was just a little kid at heart. I had trouble reading it out loud the first time but kids won't miss a beat. His books bring out the kid in all of us and are the most perfect gift for the young and young at heart. All Silverstein books are priced inexpensively to make them more accessible to kids, a huge plus since his books are keepers and givers. HarperCollins must be joking when they list this book for ages 9-12. I think they missed the mark by about 30 years. Very highly recommended!
