Description
A new laugh-out-loud tale from Canada’s #1 storytelling team — Munsch and Martchenko!
Ruth and Barbara are on their way home from school when Ruth falls and scrapes her knee. Luckily an ambulance is driving by, picks and takes them to the hospital.
Once there, the girls are left to wait, and wait . . . and WAIT. They are so bored that they start looking around and notice that the hospital bed has so many BUTTONS.
What are they all for??
Kids will love this new entry into the world of Munsch, in which a mundane life moment quickly becomes uproarious, and fun can be found everywhere.

Editorial Reviews
Praise and accolades for Robert Munsch:
“Books by Robert Munsch are a staple of every child’s book collection and a favourite among parents and kids. They’re fun, frivolous and downright silly. And they just keep getting better.” — SavvyMom.ca
“Although his writing style is fun and exaggerated, Robert’s stories frequently have a deeper meaning and touches on some difficult parts of life . . . I think I love Robert Munsch more now as an adult than I did as a child.” — My Wee View
“Laurel and Hardy, Holmes and Watson, peanut butter and jam — some things just go better together. Robert Munsch and Michael Martchenko figured that out a number of years ago, and have been teaming up to produce silly, insanely popular books ever since.” — Quill & Quire
“[Munsch is] a kindergarten superstar he ranks up there with Pablum and Pampers in name recognition arguably the most published Canadian author ever, in any genre.” — The Globe and Mail, Report on Business Magazine
“Munsch’s parade of bright funny picture books has been a sales phenomenon in children's book publishing . . . And as Munsch books are requested by kids over and over every day in countless homes and schools, at story time and bedtime, the distinctive storyteller’s voice will undoubtedly continue to be echoed for years to come by parents, teachers, babysitters and whomever else young kids can get to read to them.” — The Chronicle Herald
“Arguably the most successful kid-lit writer in North America.” — Toronto Star
“More witty, creative and entertaining than most of what passes for adult literature.” — The Globe and Mail
“Munsch is now as important to a whole generation of children as any television character.”— Quill & Quire
