Mortimer is the story “... of a little boy who won’t go to sleep at night and who drives his family crazy with his rowdiness ... [It] reads as though it was written by a parent driven frantic by one of the contemporary but compulsive stages of childrearing ... [It is] of tremendous appeal to kids and parents at the same stage.”—Globe and Mail

Comment
Add a CommentThe book “Mortimer” by Robert N. Munsch is a really good children's book. This book was originally published in 1983. It used to be my favourite bedtime story when I was younger and I used to always sing along. This book was very popular back when I was in kindergarten and suddenly no one reads this anymore, which is the disappointing part. This book became underrated and I am sad that has happened. Mortimer is very relatable and brings back many childhood memories as well. I recommend this book to be read as a bedtime story or at a read aloud. It’s a really fun book and it will keep young kids entertained. 5/5 rating

Make up your own tune for "Clang! Clang! Rattle bing bang! Gonna make my noise all day!" and this is great fun to read.
My two year old loves this book.
Great Read aloud!!
A great children's book about a young fellow who just won't go to bed!
Also remember to come on out to the free drop in event 'A Whole Lot of Munsch' at the Markham Village Library on Monday, December 22nd from 1:00-2:00 PM. There will be a special story time featuring favourite Robert Munsch stories, activities, crafts, and giveaways!
My preschool class really enjoyed this book and sung along during Mortimer's song.This storyline is more simple than some other Munsch books which means the children can catch on quicker.
I never read this book but I have a huge collection of Robert munch books!!!!!!!
I can't say how many times I read this book for my son! He loved it :-)
Mortimer is a great children's book! Lots of fun!
Kids love to sing along with this one!
Truly a classic Robert Munsch story. A great read-aloud for children to listen to and interact with.
