A new laugh-out-loud tale with heart from Canada’s #1 storytelling team Robert Munsch and Michael Martchenko!
Matthew’s parents think he should play on a sports team. How will he ever learn about teamwork if all he does is draw pictures all day?
His mom signs him up for baseball. But out on the field, Matthew is too busy looking at stuff to catch the ball.
When a ball falls directly into his glove, he draws a picture on it, and throws it back. The players toss him another, and another, and another, and he draws on those too.
Soon, it’s a toss-o-rama, as the teammates excitedly share their new art with each other, showcasing the most unique display of teamwork that the coach has ever seen!
With his trademark wit and whimsy, Robert Munsch hits another home run with this story that will remind children and parents that everyone brings their own set of special talents to a team!

What reviewers said
“Books by Robert Munsch are a staple of every child’s book collection and a favourite among parents and kids. They’re fun, frivolous and downright silly. And they just keep getting better.”
“Although his writing style is fun and exaggerated, Robert’s stories frequently have a deeper meaning and touches on some difficult parts of life . . . I think I love Robert Munsch more now as an adult than I did as a child.”
“From my experience, kids love Robert Munsch stories, and the collection of books in Mad About Munsch is no exception!”
“Laurel and Hardy, Holmes and Watson, peanut butter and jam — some things just go better together. Robert Munsch and Michael Martchenko figured that out a number of years ago, and have been teaming up to produce silly, insanely popular books ever since.”
“[Munsch is] a kindergarten superstar he ranks up there with Pablum and Pampers in name recognition arguably the most published Canadian author ever, in any genre.”
“Munsch’s parade of bright funny picture books has been a sales phenomenon in children's book publishing . . . And as Munsch books are requested by kids over and over every day in countless homes and schools, at story time and bedtime, the distinctive storyteller’s voice will undoubtedly continue to be echoed for years to come by parents, teachers, babysitters and whomever else young kids can get to read to them.”
