Day 1 v Focus: what makes a book funny? v Reading Material: Thomas' Snowsuit v Format: independent reading or partner choral reading v Introduction: Introduce the author study with a Type 1 writing activity. Pose the question, "What makes a book funny?" Students write for 3 minutes on this topic. Share responses and make a list of ideas to refer to throughout the author study. (Ex. What characters do, what they say, what they look like, jokes, silly things, etc) Show the cover of Thomas' Snowsuit. Invite predictions about the story problem and main characters. Point out the expressions on the mother's face and on Thomas' face. Why do you think they look that way? What might they be thinking? Read aloud information on where Robert Munsch got the idea for this story. Explain that Munsch is a storyteller first, before he is a writer. He makes up stories on the spot for kids he is with.

Robert Munsch driven by depression By Heather McGillivray Calgary Sun One of Canada's best-loved children's authors says his stories from princesses battling dragons to mischievous boys making play-dough cookies actually stem from his battle with depression. "I didn't expect any of this," says Robert Munsch. "I think I fell into storytelling as a way to get away." Munsch, 60, has manic-depression, characterized by extreme mood swings and irritability, countered by periodic, classic depressive symptoms. Recently, Munsch learned he was listed in a college psychology textbook as a well-known Canadian author suffering from depression. "People with manic-depression get into strange things, like action sports and drinking. I got into storytelling, which is less dangerous. I just seem to have a manic compulsion to write stories." Munsch will be in Calgary tomorrow to spend the day with Trevor and Rachelle Lee and their three children, winners of a national contest to mark Family Literacy Day. When Munsch travels to speaking engagements, he often stays with the families of the children he is visiting. Those visits sometimes translate into books, as Munsch tends to find his stories in the children he meets during his travels. "I never got a story staying in a hotel," he exclaims.

Children's Literature Association News and comments for the ChLA Conference 2005. Main June 9, 2005 CHILDREN’S LITERATURE ASSOCIATION WELCOMES ROBERT MUNSCH Canadian author Robert Munsch will be speaking at the ChLA Conference venue at the Manitoba Theatre for Young People on Saturday, June 11, on the importance of performance to his creating of stories. Munsch, the author of more than 30 picture books, including Thomas’ Snowsuit Mortimer The Paper Bag Princess and Love you Forever , begins the creation process not behind a desk, but in front of an audience. The children in his audiences inspire the characters in his books. For instance, Thomas’ Snowsuit was conceived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where Munsch was invited to speak to 300 kids from daycares. On his Website, www.robertmunsch.com, Munsch writes “I looked at the kids and they were all wearing snowsuits. I thought it must have been hard getting them into the snowsuits. I made up a snowsuit story about a little boy named Thomas who didn’t like to put on his snowsuit. The kids liked it because every time Thomas didn’t want to put on his snowsuit he yelled Noooooo.” Performance is important to this piece because, when Munsch tells it to children, they all chime in and yell “Noooooo” with him. Munsch writes that his audiences’ reactions to the stories he tells help him to revise and fine-tune the stories until they can be written down on paper, a process that can take years.
