Robert Munsch is at the top of my author fav list. Every year my students asked for his books for our morning read alouds over and over. The best part? After reading his stories together, they would take their notebooks and experiment with their own funny stories. As a writing teacher, his books are essential.
His website is a must! RobertMunsch.com
There, you’ll find tons of information about how he became such a wonderful writer. There’s also a page filled with kids’ contributions of letters and pictures.
The best surprise is his interactions with a live audience. Each book has a story behind it as well as an audio clip. This would be a wonderful way to celebrate the works of Robert Munsch in the classroom for free!

My favorite? Stephanie’s Ponytail– I love the ending of this one.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Munsch!
