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" combines a familiar and hilarious story with a repetitive format that always appeals to my kindergarten students. Each year, I read "MORTIMER" to my class. We follow up with choral reading and creative dramatics. Students are selected to portray Mortimer, Mom, Dad and the two police officers. Other classmates double as the seventeen brothers & sisters, and the audience. Everyone 'thumps' up & down the stairs and sings the refrain. My students read and reread this beloved book. Thanks to Robert Munsch and Mortimer, I am able to foster a lifelong love of literature. "MORTIMER" is a staple in our classroom library.
What kid wouldn't love this book? In my music classroom, half of the kids play the stair climbing sound effects on the xylophones, while the others take on the roles of Mortimer, Mortimer's father, mother, brothers and sisters, and police. Lots of fun and I'll guarantee they'll understand the concepts of upward and downward melodic direction when you're done! Plan to laugh a lot!
This book is great for helping music educators teach direction of pitch. I love to use it with a tone bell ladder or other instrument that actually shows the high and low pitches. The children LOVE to play up and down the ladder as Mortimer travels up and down the stairs. There are many giggles as we play. The children can certainly relate to the story!
This is one of the funniest books by the funniest author for kids! last year my Pre-K class acted it our for graduation. This year i bought a copy to donate to my son's kindergarten and 2 more for birthday gifts. So fun to read alous, especially if you're like me and love books that involve singing.
We like some of his other books, and this was seems good at first, but I don't love some of the story line...police come to his room and look very scary. It's quite an odd book, to be honest. I wouldn't buy again.
I know people love Munsch, but this story is strange. The little boy sings all the time so people yell at him and then get into fights with each other. Not exactly the moral I'd like to teach my kiddo.
A favorite of toddlers and preschoolers. Funny and realistic, as well as a little over the top. Munsch makes good use of repetition, which aids children interested in reading and cracking the code of language.
This book isn't the type of book where the beginning ties you into the story, but I CAN assure you that by the fourth page (last paragraph) you'll be chanting along with the toon of the song! (I was!) Well, I have my teacher to thank and you're probably wondering why right? Good question! I'm thanking her because she's the one who read it out loud to my whole class of 44 kids and I loved it. Just remember, Mortimer is a small, but strong, "Entertainer."
