About this book

A playful, clayful Munsch classic—now available in a sturdy board book edition!

Christopher LOVES to play with play clay, and has great time fashioning a delicious-looking cookie out of it. But when he goes looking for someone to take a bite (YUCK!), the real fun begins!

This fun, whimsical Munsch classic about a boy whose innocent prank leads to a whole lot of delicious fun, has now been revised and redesigned for the toddler set.

Behind the scenes

Miranda wrote to Robert Munsch in 1996 and said that her dad ran marathons. Munsch did not have a marathon story, so he wrote this one and sent it to her. He had never met Miranda, but in 1998 he visited her school in Vancouver, not remembering that she went there. When he went to the school, this is what happened: The principal said, “Well, of course you want to see Miranda.” And Munsch said, “Who?” “Miranda Lee,” said the principal, “the kid in the Marathon story.” And Munsch looked at him and said: “Well, of course!” And that’s the story behind that story. ART ALERT: Did you recognize the star of another Munsch story in one of the crowd scenes? It’s Lauretta from Zoom!
