This story begins with young Brigid's desire to have markers like all of her friends. Her anxious mother frets that Brigid will color on walls, floors, and herself. Brigid's plea is victorious when she makes her point for water color markers.
"They wash off with just water...Get me some of those." She gets a box of 500 water color markers. Brigid soon grows bored and makes her case for getting markers that smell, and then finally a box of "super-indelible-never-come-off-till-you're-dead-and-maybe-even-later colouring markers." Then, bored with paper, she starts coloring her fingernails....Brigid is a colorful character who slips into coloring on herself, as many young children do. Adults may fret that this book may encourage children to draw on themselves, but this story is funny because of the unreal solution to the very real problem of children coloring on themselves. The children that I have read this to seem to get that this is the real point to this book. This book is for every child who has ever preferred markers to crayons or colored pencils, and then wandered away from their original purpose.

So dissapointed when we received this book along with others. There was NO indication that they were mini books. What a piss off.

I was quite shocked when I received this and another Robert Munch book I ordered and found out it was a mini-book. There was no indication of this when I made my order. Disappointed.

My son loves Robert Munsch stories so when I saw these books for $2 I thought perfect! I had no idea that they were only the size of the palm of your hand though!!! Ended up being a stocking stuffer this Christmas because of how teeny tiny the are !!!

I haven't read it yet, but my daughter loves it. Beware, however, this book is a mini. It is not the full size version!

This is a great read-aloud story, with repeating phrases that your child can say with you. The pictures are colorful pictures, the text is funny. You kids will want to read the story again and again. It is a great introduction to reading for any child. For older kids I recommend the series of Why Some Cats are Rascals.

We love Robert Munsch books. This one is cute. We read every night and I highly recommend this book. Also had no problems obtaining it.

Wish I would have known that this book is sooo small in size. The type is small, the pages are small... the whole thing is really small. It's hard to have three kids looking at the pictures when I'm reading it! I may have not read the details of the ad, but wow!... It's small.

WHAT A PISS OFFF THE BOOK WAS SOO SMALL I COULDNT SEE!!!!I WAS SOO PISSSED AS I CHILD I LOVED THIS BOOK AND I GET THE PAM SIZE VERSE NOT IMPRESSED. AND WORST I PAID TRIPLE THE COST TO GET IT TO MY HOUSE... i WANT MY MONEY BACK AND SHIPPING.

I did not realize that this book was so small in size. It is still a cute book though. Fits in your pocket
