This book is amazing! I will warn those with no sense of humor(C is for corn cob… pull it out of the place where the sun doesn’t shine and live a little) to skip it. My dad read this book to my brother and I when we were young. 🤣 If you have great kids mature enough to get the humor…. Then the book is perfect. I still love this book as an adult and have shared it with my son. The depth of this author is very impressive! I wish there was a second ABZ book. Thank you Mr. Silverstein for making the world a less serious place with your wit! ( )

I had a friend describe this book to me years ago and I decided to finally find a copy and read it. This is not the book a parent would buy their kid to read but more of a book a aunt or uncle mad at their sibling would get their niece or nephew. This would also make a great shower gift for the laughs. The book covers the alphabet but not in the correct order and gives bad advice to kids that would get them into lots of trouble. Overall I got several laughs out of the book but I will not be putting into my nieces or nephews hands anytime soon. ( )

Fantastic book! So imaginative and creative.

Shel Silverstein is always brilliant! His rhymes are fun and entertaining! Some of my all time favorites!! ( )

This book is downright hilarious. Full of whit and twisted humor it is a must read for any adult. Take a trip into Uncle Shelby’s mind, which is full of bad and twisted advice for children and where the ABCs aren’t necessarily in order. It’s a quick read and fairly entertaining as well. Definitely recommend this book if you’re in need of a pick-me-up. ( )

this book isnt the typical alphabet book. it is intended to amuse an older group of readers, rather than educate younger ones.
