Yet, I also felt that there was something very worthwhile - something that made me badly want the Munschworks Grand Treasury. Is Munsch a game changer, or is it just a book that will amuse my twins? I was unsure whether the price tag was too steep for a mere collection of stories that might end up being a hit and miss affair. I need books that will break down walls that my kids didn't even know existed.Īnd I admit - this book is one of those purchases that I struggled with. In fact, I ask myself - will this book change their lives?Ī parent should always seek out books that will turn the lives of their kids upside down - metaphorically. will my kids get something new, something they would love out of this book. We all know it does not grow on trees.Īdmittedly, it always boiled down to a single question: should I buy it or not?īut the real question is always. Usually, when I think back to a book purchase that I made, often I remember my personal struggles that I had at the time. I sort of remember reading one short story by Robert Munsch when I was a kid, but back then I wasn't aware that his opus was so large, so off-beat and so crazily well-tailored to children.įast forward 25 years and I discovered this amazing collection of 15 picture books - compiled into one (I have to repeat it!) grand treasury - with almost all of the best stories penned by Munsch. Was there ever a book with a more suitable title? What a lovely word for a children's book!
