I like it and would recommend it! It is a very quick read and very entertaining. My brain kept trying to turn the words back into what they were suppose to be before they were changed.

This book is perfect for a younger age group. It provides short poems of different mixed match stories that the children would really enjoy!

“Runny Babbit” was written by Shel Silverstein in 2005. This is a very enjoyable form of mix match poetry and the illustrations are very unique as well! I would definitely reccomend this book!

2005 Quill Award-Winning P book, Runny Babbit by Shel Silverstein takes a reader into the world of Runny Babbit and his friends (Toe Jurtle, Skertie Gunk, Rirty Dat, etc) who speak a crazy language of their own in a series of poems and illustrations. This book would be best used as a CR as students explore the topsy-turvey language used by Mr. Silverstein. #UCFLAE3414F19

TristanPool UDL 8.3 with EL 14 would be great to use with a CR book as students foster their skills in collaboration and community to read the poems at a slower pace. https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lesson-plans/teaching-content/runny-babbit-b... is a helpful resource to use for teachers as it provides an instruction-based outline with learners‘ extension to support all students. 5y
Tinks Seems like a cute book to read. Wondering if all the pages are like the cover... 🤔 😉 5y
DrSpalding Good luck with choral reading this title! It is a tongue twister. You would need to read it at a slower pace for sure. 5y

My favorite poem was called runny Mets guddy! In this poem runny Babbit gets all muddy so his mom “hung him out to dry” which I just thought was so funny and the illustration was even better

This poetry story won the quill award for children‘s picture book as well as being a New York Times bestseller. I would use this as a read aloud in my classroom. The world of runny Babbit and his friends Toe Jurtle, Skertle Gunk, Rirty Dat, Dungry Hog and many other, is filled with those who speak a topsy-turvy language all their own. #lae3414sp19

SofiaRoselli The website I found for the book, gives a great lesson plan. It provides background knowledge on the offer and hope to explain more about poetry. I would lower and redundant to accommodate ESOL students. By supplying background knowledge, I am using UDL principle 3.1, activate or supply background knowledge.

Runniy Babbit by Shel Silverstein is a hilarious P book. It is New York Times bestselling book of spoonerisms in which words or with letters are swapped. Bunny Rabbit becomes Runny Babbit . It is good for RA, RT & PR. Activists related to this book are http://www.shelsilverstein.com/media/learning/resource_files/Runny_Babbit.pdf.hi...

SadiqaH UDL strategies 2.2 & 2.3 clarifying syntax and structure and supporting decoding of text will align better along with ESOL strategies 11 & 15 , place languages in meaning full context and reinforce key ideas again again will be helpful. 7y

4⭐️ This is indeed a Billy Sook. A really Billy Sook. Or a silly book? I'm not sure if this book is supposed to make you think like a dyslexic or not. My brother could read it quick and loud, while I struggled. When I tried to read it as written it was more than a tongue twister, it was a tongue knot. When I let my mind read it how it wanted to, it had its typical Silverstein flow, but lost some, but not much, of its magic.

This P styled story is one from the classic Shel Silverstein. The Runny Babbit is also an award winner for the Quill Award for children‘s illustrated book. This book is great as a RA and LC to help our younger students to the concepts of poetry in a fun filled way!

DrSpalding I think there is a cutting and pasting issue here. Seems like the last two comments belong to a different book. As far as Runny Babbitt goes, this is an extremely difficult book to read aloud and requires a lot of practice. 7y
amyqualk I've always loved her books! I've never read this one but it definitely is on my to read list! 7y
ChristinB I love shel Silverstein! I would use this for author studies! 7y

I just made myself incredibly homesick by posting this book of #poetry by Shel Silverstein. My mom bought it for me years ago (but I was still an adult), because I do this kind of verbal flip-flop ALL THE TIME. A long time family favorite is "golden swans" for "swollen glands." ?. And the daisies because I used to pretend Daisy was my name ?.

In case anyone wonders where I get my "books on every surface, all throughout the house" aesthetic from, I come by it honestly. I am visiting my mom's house right now for the week, and this is my mom's sideboard...it has multiple revolving stacks of books on it at any given time. And this is not the only piece of furniture in the house piled high with stacks of books like this. ??

Bibliotini I approve. That's how I roll too! 8y
