Classic Munsch's Story Books
Volume 2
Stephanie's Ponytail
A little girl who is determined to strike a blow for
nonconformity manages to arrive at school every day with a hairdo more outraegous than the day before. And each time, the cast of
copycats grows and grows--until the day she threatens to shave her head! The
strong female voice will speak to many, asserting the
importance of individuality and independent thought.
Purple, Green and
Yellow
This is a favorite from Bob Munsch's
live storytelling sessions.
Brigid is on the trail of the ultimate felt marker. At first, she's satisfied to be drawing wonderful pictures. But soon she must have the markers that wash off with water. Then she needs the markers that smell. But she's happiest when she gets the super-indelible-never-comes-off-till-you're-dead markers. She draws brighter-than-real lemons and roses and then goes too far: Brigid draws on herself. Nothing will remove the color, so Brigid reaches deep into the box of markers, finds the people-colored marker, and covers up all the other colors. She looks better than before, too good to be true. And Brigid is certain that no one will find out her secret. Especially since her father awakes from a nap and looks in the mirror. He looks a bit too good to be true too…

his new baby sister in to school for show-and-tell.

Mortimer
The story ". . . of a little boy who won't go to sleep
at night and who drives his family crazy with his rowdiness. . . . (It is) of
tremendous appeal to kids and parents at the same stage."--Globe &
