Robert Munsch writes picture books and short children's stories built around repetition, exaggeration and situations that escalate far beyond ordinary family life. The Paper Bag Princess reverses a familiar fairy-tale rescue when Princess Elizabeth defeats a dragon herself and then rejects the ungrateful prince she has saved. Love You Forever uses repeated lines to follow a mother and son across different stages of life, while books such as Mortimer and Stephanie's Ponytail turn stubborn children and family chaos into loud comic routines. Munsch's stories are direct, energetic and designed to be read aloud, with repetition inviting children to join in. His work fits comic picture books, family stories and early childhood read-aloud fiction. Read more Less
