Title: Warning! May be too much fun.
Review: Every Christmas I give my nieces and nephews a great book. So glad I found out about this one! Three of my five siblings called to tell me that their Christmas morning came to an abrupt halt when their children opened my gift to them--so engrossing and fun is this book. Since then, several of my nieces and nephews have picked up Runny Babbit talk and are delightedly confusing grandparents and other adults who are not "in the know."As usual, Silverstein's poetry and illustrations are imaginative and charming. In my opinion, the poetry is perhaps not as enthralling as some selections in his other books, but still quite fun. If you're going to read it aloud (which I highly recommend) to the little ones, you may need a bit of practice first--after a few minutes, however, you'll pick it up easily.
