Description
Another laugh-out-loud book from the author of The Paper Bag Princess!
Brigid really, really loves markers. She convinces her mum to buy a new set of five hundred washable colouring markers, then five hundred colouring markers that smell, then five super-indelible-never-come-off-till-you're-dead-and-maybe-even-later colouring markers. Which markers do you think she uses when she colours on herself?
A newly designed Classic Munsch picture book introduces this tale of exuberant artistry to a young generation of readers.

About the Author
Robert Munsch, author of such classics as The Paper Bag Princess and Thomas' Snowsuit, is one of North America's bestselling authors of children's books. Helene 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. Helene and her family live just outside Montreal, Quebec.
