What Hacker News says
- Agreed - Jon Agee has another palindrome book titled PALINDROMANIA! (that OTTO seems to be based on).
Also spoonerisms are fun for kids too, Jon Agee has book of those and it's also great. Shel Silverstein has "Runny Babbit" (Goctor Doose always gets a chuckle out of me)
- Spoonerisms are fun, especially when they make funny sounding words. Recently found the book Runny Babbit by Shel Silverstein with my son which is now one of my favorites.
- This reads like Runny Babbit, one of the last Shel Silverstein books published.
