Author Notes
Robert Munsch was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on June 11, 1945. He received an undergraduate degree in history and a master's degree in anthropology. While studying to be a Jesuit priest, he worked part-time at an orphanage. He decided he liked working with children and left the Jesuits after 7 years to work in a daycare center. He studied for a year at the Elliot Pearson School of Child Studies at Tufts University. He ended up at a lab preschool at the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario and eventually became a Canadian citizen.
While working at a daycare center and telling stories to children, he realized that storytelling was what he loved to do and eventually he started writing the stories down. His first published title was Mud Puddle. He has written over 50 books including Love You Forever, Mortimer, Angela's Airplane, Andrew's Loose Tooth, Stephanie's Ponytail, Moira's Birthday, and Put Me in a Book.

Booklist Review
Gr. 3-5. A delightful sense of humor, unexpected endings, and contemporary issues characterize the titles in this enjoyable series, which features refreshing watercolor illustrations. Agu tells how Robin, a five-year-old girl, resolves her dilemma and Baby finds a home. Graciela's encounters with a mischievous boy are described in El Muchacho. El Papa shows how David's father, a kindly giant, scares many people including David's friend, Julia. In La Princesa, Elizabeth, a beautiful princess, is planning to marry Prince Ronaldo but decides that, even though he is handsome, he is basically useless; hence, she cancels the wedding.
