This is my first Robert Munsch book, and I'm hooked! I read it to my son's kindergarten class yesterday and it made me look like a hero. They ATE IT UP. We laughed so hard we cried. Olivia is a great little heroine, and the kids could identify with her and were tickled with the "trouble" she cooked up.
Can't wait to dig into my next Munsch/Martchenko book. Thanks, guys!

I always buy books by Robert Munsch. My grandson did not like to read UNTIL he read one of the books I had. Not only did he like it, but wanted to take it home to read to his mother. Robert Munsch writes books that are about children and children love to read about other children. I simply love all books by him.

On the heals of discovering the oh-so-wonderful Paper Bag Princess by Munch, I ordered several more of his books. BIG MISTAKE. Not all Munch is created equal. In this book, a child gets everything she wishes for for her birthday, including the pregnancy of her mother. NOT A GOOD MESSAGE. Willful child in charge of adults with no consequences. I bought this for my grandson and never showed it to him.
