Purple, Green and Yellow Early Reader

By Robert Munsch and Hélène Desputeaux

Beloved Robert Munsch stories with text adapted for beginner readers, including a note from the author, reading tips, and reading activities.

Brigid really, really loves markers. She convinces her mom to buy a new set of 500 washable coloring markers, then 500 coloring markers that smell, then 500 super-indelible-never-come-off-till-you’re-dead-and-maybe-even-later coloring markers. Which markers do you think she uses when she colors on herself?

This high-interest and fun story is easily relatable for all kids: it’s rare kids get to use permanent markers!

A Note from

Robert Munsch

A long, long, LONG time ago when I was in first grade, my class had 60 kids in it!

The teacher didn’t read any books and neither did the kids. It was not fun.

Well, here is a book that is fun to read for both you and your grown-ups.

Readers rule!
