He taught in a variety of nursery schools and daycare centers while he earned an MA in Early Childhood Education. In 1975, Munsch and his wife, Ann, moved to Guelph, Ontario. The Munschs have three children: Julie, Andrew, and Tyya (see them all in Something Good!).

- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021My 5 year old loved this book after borrowing it from the library so we decided to buy it. It makes him laugh and he likes to tell me the story. I love that it comes in a simple, affordable paperback.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2022My 4-year-old gets a huge kick out of this book, as do I. It would be perfect for storytime, since some of the sections repeat and are animated enough for kids to do motions alongside.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2021I love this book. It’s one of my favorites. It’s funny, quirky and kids love to hear it again and again and again. The author is one if my favorites. My 2 year old grandkids and my kindergartners at school have absolutely loved it.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017Robert Munsch is one of my favorite children's book authors. His stories are funny and speak to the hearts of a children. I've read this book for many first and second grade classes and it always gets a laugh. I purchased it along with Thomas' Snowsuit and Stephanie's Ponytail -- my three favorites by him (aside from I'll Love You Forever) -- as Christmas presents. Thank you, Amazon, for having them in stock.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2018My grandson is 2.5 yo and loves this book. His language skills are well developed so he can sit and listen to stories. He quotes from it all the time.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2008I have an elementary class of students with low-functioning autism, and they absolutely adore this book! We discovered it through TumbleBooks.com, the reader is very animated and it captured their attention. The repetition and predictability is perfect for this population! It is a classroom favorite and has been a great way to introduce new vocabulary to my early learners and get my higher learners excited about reading!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2018This is a much beloved book that I read to my children. I purchased it to pass on the joy of reading to a friend's child.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2014Good pattern; But nothing unique...I would like to read more books by this author if they were as good as this

3.0 out of 5 stars Super Auteur livre cartonné décevant
J'adore cet auteur et mon fils aussi. Les dessins sont chouettes et les histoires souvent très rigolote. J'ai choisit le livre cartonné pour sa solidité et pour une version plus courte puisque mon petit n'a que 11 mois. Par contre je suis déçue de l'histoire qui perd beaucoup son intérêt en raccourcis.
