We think Rober Munsch is hilarious!  Do you agree?

Kiss Me, I’m Perfect will make anyone who’s received a “grandma gift” groan with recognition.

Stephanie’s Ponytail will remind you to be yourself and not do what everyone else is doing — or you might end up bald!

The Paperbag Princeess tells the story of a brave princess who rescues a prince.  The ending will surprise you but the whole story is quite funny.

Andrew’s Loose Tooth explores a variety of ways to extract a tooth but my favorite part is the leather clad motorcycle driving tooth fairy.

Purple, Green and Yellow, Mmmm . . . Cookies and Smelly Socks are must reads for any Munsch fan!

These “Classic Munsch” books will enliven your reading time with laughter and mirth!

(Munsch also wrote Love you Forever which is the only book I don’t really like — maybe it’s just me but isn’t it kind of creepy that a mom would crawl into her grown son’s window to rock him to sleep?)

Anyway, what to do with your Munsch collection of books?  Well, how about these activities?

2 – 4 year olds:

• Make your own paper bag princess or prince.

• Draw your favorite part of the story you read with “super-indelible-never-comeoff-utill-you’re-dead-and-maybe-even-later” (quote from Purple, Green and Yellow.)

5 – 12 year olds:

• Look for onomatopoeias when you read.  (Words that sound like what they are – crunch is an example.)

• Find where Munsch uses repetition in the story.

• Scholastic Canada offers Munsch games and activities.

• Complete this word search for the Paper Bag Princess.

• Write Rober Munsch a letter and tell him an idea you have for a new funny book or tell him your favorite book and why it’s your favorite.

• Do an online Scavenger Hunt about Robert Munsch.
