This favourite Munsch title gets a brand-new look
Samuel has woken up hungry and it seems that nothing can satisfy him. Luckily, there’s a pie-eating contest in the park, where Samuel eats not one, not two, but six pies! To everyone’s surprise, he wins the contest without getting sick. But what will happen when he discovers his mother has made him yet another pie for lunch?
ROBERT MUNSCH started telling stories when he was teaching in a daycare, to get the kids to settle down. Now he is Canada’s number one author for young readers with more than 80 books in print, including such bestsellers as The Paper Bag Princess, We Share Everything!, So Much Snow! and Love You Forever. Every one of his stories was first told aloud to children – and each one is dedicated to the kid who inspired the story. He is a member of the Order of Canada, has a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, and is a hero to generations of young readers. Robert Munsch lives in Guelph, Ontario.
