One for the kids, one for you

It's a complete snow emergency in Seattle today, so I'm going to suggest a pair of books that will keep both you and any young folks satisfied.


Runny Babbit, Shel Silverstein

This is a funny way to approach the importance of using a correct starting sound in words. A mix-and-match word activity could easily be developed from this book -- at one point, flashcards of many of the book's illustrations were available from Barnes and Noble, you could probably find them on eBay.



Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book, Shel Silverstein

I LOVE this book. Reader beware: despite what Uncle Shelby tells you, this naughty ABC book is probably most appropriate for older youngsters -- middle schoolers, perhaps?
