Book Description

Publication Date: Feb 1 1985 | Series: Classic Munsch

It's Mortimer's bedtime, but he would much rather sing his rowdy song. Mom, Dad and even the police can't get him to quiet down, until they become so distracted by each otherthat Mortimer drifts off to sleep.

Review

[Mortimer is the story] of a little boy who won't go to sleep at night and who drives his family crazy with his rowdiness ... [It] reads as though it was written by a parent driven frantic by one of the contemporary but compulsive stages of childrearing ... [It is] of tremendous appeal to kids and parents at the same stage. (Globe and Mail)

5.0 out of 5 stars Dramatize with your student musicians Jan 26 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
What kid wouldn't love this book? In my music classroom, half of the kids play the stair climbing sound effects on the xylophones, while the others take on the roles of Mortimer, Mortimer's father, mother, brothers and sisters, and police. Lots of fun and I'll guarantee they'll understand the concepts of upward and downward melodic direction when you're done! Plan to laugh a lot!

5.0 out of 5 stars LOTS OF FUN!!! Dec 15 2009
By Stephanie Johnson TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I loved this book when I was a child and now my 2 year old son wants me to read it every night before bed. He reads a long with me (as much as he can) 'Mortimer, be QUIET!'
This is a GREAT bedtime book that allows you to make up silly voices and even sing a song. What a great way to end your day and spend quality time with your kids. I recommend this book to children between the ages of 2-7.

3.0 out of 5 stars A book review by a 9 year old girl. May 4 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book isn't the type of book where the beginning ties you into the story, but I CAN assure you that by the fourth page (last paragraph) you'll be chanting along with the toon of the song! (I was!) Well, I have my teacher to thank and you're probably wondering why right? Good question! I'm thanking her because she's the one who read it out loud to my whole class of 44 kids and I loved it. Just remember, Mortimer is a small, but strong, "Entertainer."

5.0 out of 5 stars Music education
This book is great for helping music educators teach direction of pitch. I love to use it with a tone bell ladder or other instrument that actually shows the high and low pitches. Read more
