Runny Babbit is Shel Silverstein's hilarious and New York Times-bestselling book of spoonerisms--words or phrases with letters or syllables swapped: bunny rabbit becomes Runny Babbit.

That's billy as can se,"

Just like mim and he.

And don't miss Runny Babbit Returns, the new book from Shel Silverstein!

Silverstein, Shel: - Shel Silverstein is best known as a children's book author who wrote and illustrated a number of bestselling books that have charmed millions of readers of all ages. Crossing many artistic boundaries, he was also a noted songwriter and an accomplished playwright. Silverstein first came to prominence in the 1950s as a cartoonist for Playboy, where he assumed the role of roving ambassador for the up-and-coming magazine. This esteemed assignment--due in no small part to his friendship with Hugh M. Hefner--was the auspicious beginning of a most amazing career. Shel Silverstein died in 1999.
