With over half a million copies in print, Mortimer is one of Robert
Munsch's most popular and beloved books. 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
