Mortimer by Robert Munsch is a delightful children's story about a mischievous boy who refuses to go to sleep peacefully. Each time his parents, siblings, and even the local police attempt to quiet him down, Mortimer's boisterous singing and antics humorously escalate the situation. With vibrant illustrations and a repetitive, catchy narrative, the book captures the playful spirit of childhood bedtime defiance.

Mortimer

Mortimer becomes rowdier and rowdier as he refuses to go to sleep.

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

Mortimer by Robert Munsch is a delightful children's book that many reviewers praise for its humour and engaging storytelling. The book's repetitive and rhythmic style, often found in Munsch's works, captivates young audiences while encouraging participation.
