Uncle Shelby's Abz Book

by Shel Silverstein

Uncle Shelby's Abz Book Cover

About the Author

Shel Silverstein is best known as a children's-book author who wrote and illustrated a number of bestselling books that have charmed millions of readers of all ages. Crossing many artistic boundaries, he was also a noted songwriter and an accomplshed playwright. Silverstein first came to prominence in the 1950s as a cartoonist for Playboy, where he assumed the role of roving ambassador for the up-and-coming magazine. This esteemed assignment — due in no small part to his friendship with Hugh M. Hefner — was the auspicious beginning of a most amazing career. Shel Silverstein died in 1999.

This book had me laughing hysterically from cover to cover. A work of pure comic genius. This is the antidote to too much Elmo.
