this book is SO cute, i am going to pick it up.

my friend and i were at walmart today, getting a birthday present forher younger brother. i happened to pick this book up and start readingit (i gravitate to anything with a rabbit on it) and i began to read itout loud in the store. . .laughing hysterically every page. . .it wasso cute! i had people looking at me, and at one point had a 3 year oldlistening intently to the story as i made silly voices.

the book is written in a pig latin-type words like instead of bunny rabbit it is runny babbit

a quote from the book:

"Runny Babbit knearned to lit, And made a swat and heater, And now he sadly will admit. He bight have done it metter."

and all of it with with those classic shel silverstein drawings of this cute little lop eared rabbit. . .

if you have never read it, go look for it next time you are at a store. . .you will fall in love

CUTE!! We saw that book the other day, too...didn't have a moment to stop and check it out, though. :(

Now we've REALLY got to get it...that's totally my husband'shumor. In fact, we have a picture of a polar bear saved inour computer as "bolar pear" because of him, hehe!! :D
 
Art bought the book a few weeks ago to have so he could practice reading for when we have grandchildren.

Mind you - neither of our kids is married yet (22 year old twins).

But still yet...he wants to be ready.

That book inspired the name for our fawn lionlop - "Billy Sunny" (for Silly bunny).

Where the Sidewalk Ends was my favorite book tocheck out from the library when I was a kid - I must have gotten it 10times at least.

I'll have to go get this new book!

Oh yeah...I LOVE Shel Silverstein...

That reminds me...I'm gonna check Amazon to see how much a couple booksby him would be. I think they'd be just the right level formy daughter to read, and I KNOW she'd get as much a kick outta him as Ido/did!! :D
