Robert Munsch Books Make Me Laugh

I haven't found any children so far who don't LOVE books by Robert Munsch.

Here are some of my favorites!

Purple Green and Yellow has the word "cow plops" in it.

When my mom, Sweetie, read this book to her grandchildren,

she changed the word "cow plops" to "watermelons" to make

it more genteel. When we were writing down things that we appreciated

about my mom and dad recently for their 60th anniversary

scrapbook, my nephew Josh, who can always make everyone laugh, had this to say.

"You can substitute "watermelons" for "cow plops"

but you really need to clue Poppy in on the changes."

I would have loved to see the look in 3 year old Josh's eyes, when

Poppy read the new and improved version of

Purple Green and Yellow.

Murmel, Murmel, Murmel is a fun book for a child expecting a new sibling.

One sign of a good book is that the parent reading the book will

enjoy it as much as the child. This is so true of Thomas' Snowsuit.

Robert Munsch must have had kids of his own!

When Jeremy first brought Mandy home to meet the family, she saw

Paper Bag Princess on my bookshelf. She promptly picked up

the book and proceeded to read it aloud to the entire family.

I knew, then and there, that she was going to be the

best daughter-in-law in the world. (And she is!)
