Not Your Children’s Abecedary: Silverstein’s Uncle Shelby’s ABZ Book
My parents stocked the house with Shel Silverstein books, however, they seem to have missed one. A few of us started talking about Silverstein last night and before I knew it, someone handed me Uncle Shelby’s ABZ Book to read. Not your average child’s abecedary, it appeals greatly to my dark and dry sense of humor. (Of course, perhaps it’s not really an abecedary since the entries are not in alphabetical order.) I think I’m going to have to procure at least one copy. I wonder if The Playful Antiquarian has read it. I also wonder how many times parents have complained about its presence in libraries.
