Runny Babbit

Runny Babbit is Shel Silverstein’s hilarious and New York Times-bestselling book of spoonerisms–words or phrases with letters or syllables swapped: bunny rabbit becomes Runny Babbit.

Welcome to the world of Runny Babbit and his friends Toe Jurtle, Skertie Gunk, Rirty Dat, Dungry Hog, Snerry Jake, and many others who speak a topsy-turvy language all their own.

So if you say, Let’s bead a rook
That’s billy as can se,
You’re talkin’ Runny Babbit talk,
Just like mim and he.
