5.0 out of 5 stars A Grand Treasury Indeed!, January 13, 2002

By 

Charlie R. (Waban, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Munschworks Grand Treasury (Hardcover)

This book was recommended to me for my children by a 1st grade teacher. I was reluctant to purchase it at first because of the price and because I had never read a book by Munsch. However, I decided to get it and, wow, are my kids happy. The book features many children's stories - most with silly goings on that keep my 7 and 4 year old boys in stitches. Every night for the last two months they ask to have one of the stories re-read to them. The outcome is always the same - laughter. This is an excellent work because it brings out the joy of reading for the kids. Definitely worth the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favortie Story is Thomas' Snowsuit, November 13, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Munschworks Grand Treasury (Hardcover)

My favorite story is Thomas' Snowsuit by Robert N. Munsch. It is about Thomas and his mother and his teacher fighting. My favorite part is when Thomas is wearing the teachers dress. I also like when Thomas gets the teacher and the principal back into their clothes. This book is funny. You can't live without it! By Katie

5.0 out of 5 stars Robert Munsch at His Best, October 12, 2002

This review is from: The Munschworks Grand Treasury (Hardcover)

From the day we brought this book home, my son has been begging me to read him the stories over and over and over again. He never seems to get tired of them! His other books are gathering dust on the shelf while he memorizes every story in this one. I highly recommend it.
