Memo to devotees of Robert Munsch
joyfulguy
He's giving a (rather rare?) interview now on CBC radio, at cbc.ca, maybe follow with "thenextchapter". If you use their 'listen" app, you can hear it when you choose. He tells great kids stories, e.g. "mud puddle", and is loved for his "love me forever" song.

Thanks, Ole Joyful; I'm a long time fan.
His books were read many times with my young son. I don't think any parent who read "Love You Forever" could get to the end without a lump in the throat.
'The stories will be the last thing to go'
I get a lump in my throat from Love You Forever even though I find the scene with the ladder a little creepy.
I love, love, The Paper Bag Princess.
