Title: Disappointed. Get Munsch's early works instead
Review: I bought this after reading Munsch's early stories like "Paperbag Princess" and "David's Father". They were charming light hearted stories that the kids loved to listen to. But the stories in this collection are bizarre and creepy. "Millicent and the Wind" is about a little girl who lives out in the wilderness with her family and her only friend is the wind. In the end she asks the wind to kidnap another child to her house so she has somebody to play with. "The Boy In The Drawer" is beyond strange. A little girl finds a tiny boy (leprechaun?) in her room who does crazy things like grow tomato plants in her bed. When she tells her parents the only thing they tell her is to clean it up. What's the point? The only story that is cute and appropriate for a young reader is "Moira's Birthday". Otherwise I would recommend you skip this volume and look up Munsch's first collection of stories.
