Review Quotes
Praise for Robert Munsch:
“Laurel and Hardy, Holmes and Watson, peanut butter and jam — some things just go better together. Robert Munsch and Michael Martchenko figured that out a number of years ago, and have been teaming up to produce silly, insanely popular books ever since.” — Quill & Quire
“Munsch’s parade of bright funny picture books has been a sales phenomenon in children's book publishing . . . And as Munsch books are requested by kids over and over every day in countless homes and schools, at story time and bedtime, the distinctive storyteller’s voice will undoubtedly continue to be echoed for years to come by parents, teachers, babysitters and whomever else young kids can get to read to them.” — The Chronicle Herald
“Arguably the most successful kid-lit writer in North America.” — Toronto Star
“More witty, creative and entertaining than most of what passes for adult literature.” — The Globe and Mail
“Munsch is now as important to a whole generation of children as any television character.” — Quill & Quire
