Munschworks: The First Munsch Collection
Ages 4^-8. Roughly 10 inches square, this volume includes the complete text and Martchenko illustrations from five of Munsch's popular picture books:The Paper Bag Princess,The Fire Station,I Have to Go!,David's Father, andThomas' Snowsuit. Librarians who can't keep up with requests for Munsch's books will find this a cost-effective way to cope. In addition, the larger scale of the format means bigger illustrations, and the quality of the paper ensures good reproduction of the brightly colored artwork. Consider multiple copies of this collection, which offers a treasure chest of crowd-pleasing picture books at a bargain price.Carolyn Phelan
