  • Moose

    Robert Munsch

    Paperback (n/a, March 15, 2011)
    Munsch and Martchenko turn their creative attention on a moose -- with hilarious results! Luke gets up early one Saturday morning and finds a moose in the backyard. He wakes up his dad, and then his mom, and each declares that "moose never come on the farm" -- only to be surprised by the moose itself! Mom tries to shoo it away with a broom but the moose eats it. Dad tries to scare it away with a hose but the moose takes a nice bath. Luke feeds the moose carrots and decides to keep it in his treehouse, until his sister comes along, with a surprising solution to this unusual problem! Moose! was inspired by a young boy from Cape Breton Island. About the Author Robert Munsch is Canada's bestselling author of more than fifty picture books for young readers.

  • Good Families Don't

    Robert Munsch

    Paperback (Doubleday, March 15, 1990)
    Good Families Don't is Munsch's funniest book yet, about a risqu subject that is guaranteed to have children--and adults--rolling in the aisles. When Carmen tries to tell her parents that there is a big fart lying on her bed, they don't believe her. "Good families like ours," they tell her, "do not have farts." But when they go upstairs to see, the fart attacks them--as it does the similarly disbelieving police when they arrive. Carmen is left to deal with the situation on her own, which she does with the help of a rose.

  • Up, Up, Down

    Robert Munsch

    Paperback (Scholastic Canada, March 15, 2001)
    In this zany story, Anna likes to climb on the refrigerator and her dresser and go "up, up, up" even though she falls down "ow ouch!" When her parents protest, she goes outside, where it's okay to climb, and climbs the highest tree she can find. Sitting in the top, she goads her parents to come after her; when they fall down trying, she relents and climbs down to wrap them in "enormous Band-Aids" and repeats what they've been telling her: "Be CAREFUL-don't CLIMB!" The humor is in the timing, the changing size and placement of the text, and the silliness of the plot. The watercolor illustrations are also over-the-top with ridiculously exaggerated points of view, comical-looking characters, and little jokes, such as a tiny treetop animal watching TV or stars flying off Daddy's injured bottom. This is sure to be a hit, especially with this team's fans.
