Shel Silverstein Hop

Today is Shel Silverstein's birthday, and it's time for a hop, so be sure and click the graphic towards the bottom of the page to go on to Bento, Monsters next. This author is one of the first, last, and 'onlys' for me. He is a master of literary arts, as well as actual art. There is not a thing from him I haven't enjoyed, both as a child and as an adult. I have every one of his books (so far as I know) and share them frequently with the kiddo. Her favorite is Don't Bump the Glump. And, while she wanted me to make any number of creatures from her favorite poems, she finally setting on the title and a character of my choice. Whew! Can you imagine what the Glump would look like in a lunchbox? Not so appetizing, I'd think. Text, it is!

For this occasion, the hubby had to get one too. While, he doesn't necessarily share my childhood obsession, he does like Silverstein. I mean, who doesn't? Anyways, I used to make him read Runny Babbit to me, so that was the lunch he got!
