Description

By overwhelming popular demand, Stoo Hample’s 1961 classic features a reissue of the recording that inspired a generation of gigglers.

"I am silly,
You are silly,
All of us are silly,
Willy."

And everything in The Silly Book and The Silly Record is the silly-willynilliest! There are songy sills (oops!) —silly songs, silly stories, silly poems, silly secrets, silly things to do, a silly good-night, and even silly nothings. Anyone who reads this book — and hears this CD — will laugh like anything, or else turn into a bathtub. First published almost fifty years ago, when it became an uproariously silly success, The Silly Book and its companion, The Silly Record, are guaranteed to cause children (and nostalgic adults) to giggle like gigglecopters, roll on the floor, and cheer "Boodleheimer, Boodleheimer" (CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!).

Critic Reviews

“"Stoo Hample is the da Vinci of Daft, the Socrates of Screwy, and the Gershwin of Goofy. His book is mordant, scintillating, pungent, and deeply profound, but it's just a bit too silly for me." - Norton Juster, author of THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH - Norton Juster "Stoo Hample's THE SILLY BOOK is more than forty years old and just as silly as ever. Me, too. Which is why I still love it. So do my grandchildren." - Mary Rodgers, author of FREAKY FRIDAY - Mary Rodgers "THE SILLY BOOK is back again. It's the epitome of Stoo Hample himself. His crazy sense of humor and laughter - his unique frolic with the sound and fun in words - is like having Stoo himself in the room making us laugh." - Charlotte Zolotow, publisher emerita and children's book author - Charlotte Zolotow "THE SILLY BOOK is - ha ha - so silly - ha ha - that I have trouble - ha ha - thinking about it while writing this - ha ha ha ha - blurb. I mean, have you noticed that the first two - ha ha - letters in Hample are Ha? I mean - ha ha - isn't that - ? It's so - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Forgive me." - Jules Feiffer - Jules Feiffer”
