Runny Babbit Returns: Another Billy Sook by Shel SilversteinMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Having grown up on Shel Silverstein, I feel kind of bad that I did not enjoy this book as much as his others. It is one of those weird phenomena that lets you read something and have it make sense, even though most of the words are absolute nonsense. I know, it’s just transposing the first letters, but still, taking a word by itself give you jibberish.
I think part of the reason I struggle to like this book is the fact that you can’t just breeze through. You have to slow down your reading, and sometimes you trip up on the unusual words. I want to be able to relax when I’m reading.
If you like Shel Silverstein, I think that it is still worth the read, it just wouldn’t be the first one of his books I pick up.
