This book is great. It's absolutely hilarious. It was publihsed posthumously by Silverstein's family. I let a few of the kids I work with take it home to read because there was no way I could read it to them. It is just too hard to read outloud. Here is a small example:
Do Whid It?
Runny Babbit with his axe
Chopped down at trerry chee
When Raddy Dabbit asked,, "Do Whid It?"
Runny said, "Mot, ne."
Weorge Gashington heard Runny lying,
And he said, "Oh my,
You'll never pe the bresident
'Cause you just lold a tie
It's cute. It's also pretty darn funny when you consider just how much you have to lie to become president.
MY RATING: 5/5
