Description

A MINI version of the original Robert Munsch classic—perfect for party favors, trips, and more!

Brigid loves markers, especially her super-indelible-never-come-off-till-you’re-dead-and-maybe-even-later markers!

Brigid's mother buys her 500 washable markers, then 500 smelly markers. But when she gets Brigid 500 of the latest kind of markers with super-permanent ink, and Brigid draws on herself, she has to use her wits to figure out how to get back to normal.

Robert Munsch's profile page

Hélène Desputeaux has been drawing since she was a young child. Her early "canvases" were walls, floors, hands, feet, and even the end of her nose. Since then she has added books and magazines to her repertoire, though from time to time she is still fond of returning to her early practice. Hélène and her family live just outside Montreal, Quebec.

Editorial Reviews

“[The] illustrations ... are irresistibly brilliant.”

Hamilton Spectator

“A humorously exaggerated tale of a child who gets hold of super-indelible, never-come-off-until-you're-dead colored markers. Fun!”

Emergency Librarian
