Description

All the kids want to be in a book — but it might not be as much fun as they think!

 

On their way home from a field trip, the class meets a famous writer who says he is looking for a kid to put in a book. Hailey volunteers, so the writer flattens her out, folds her up, and stuffs her in. But Hailey feels folded and scrunched and trapped and stuck, and asks the kids to get her out of the book. They try all kinds of things, but nothing works, until finally they have an idea &mdassh; and turn the tables on the famous writer!

Put Me in a Book! was inspired by a project that a grade two classroom in North Bay created and mailed to Robert Munsch — now they really ARE in a book!

Put Me in a Book!

It’s an honour to be in a book, isn’t it? In the park Hailey and her classmates meet an author who is looking for a kid to put in his book. When Hailey literally ends up in the book, her classmates try to scrape, stretch and photocopy her back to freedom. They finally turn the tables on the author and change the ending!
