Young readers may be amazed to learn that Canada's bestselling author (30 million books so far) started off in Pennsylvania and struggled in school. A solitary daydreamer, raised in a large, boisterous family, he found solace in books at an early age. Considered a slow learner by the nuns who taught him, his creative gifts were eventually recognized by a sympathetic librarian who encouraged him to keep reading.

      This chatty but bland biography of "Canada's best known children's author" distinguishes between Munsch as wacky storyteller and as mild-mannered author with roots in the Jesuit tradition and early childhood education. Fans will probably be most interested in the biographical inspirations for Munsch's popular tales. Archival photographs along with cover art from Munsch's books accompany the text. Timeline. Bib., ind.
