Uncle Shelby’s ABZ Book is a brazen work of satire. “X is always for xylophone!” Shel Silverstein/Simon & Schuster Silverstein’s introductory work purports to be an educational tool, bearing the tagline, “A Primer For Tender Young Minds.” But upon the most cursory of inspections, it becomes clear that Uncle Shelby is not to be trusted with young minds, tender or otherwise. Over the past 55 years, it has become a literary cult classic, unknown by most, but fiercely adored by ardent fans.
Featuring much of the material from Playboy, it was the first book written by prolific author, musician, playwright and songwriter Shel Silverstein, then Playboy’s resident cartoonist. Shortly thereafter, Uncle Shelby’s ABZ Book was published.
