Shel Silverstein called himself Uncle Shelby as a pen name for some of his books for children because he wanted to create a persona separate from his more well-known work as a poet and songwriter for adults. Uncle Shelby allowed him to tap into a more whimsical and imaginative side while maintaining a sense of playfulness and creativity in his Children's Books.
