I was surprised that he adopted three kids: Andrew, Julie and Tyya. If I were to ask three questions I would ask why did you choose to be a writer of all the things you could be? Another question I would ask is would it be hard to write a lot of books? I would like to be Robert's kid because I feel he would give me lots of tips on writing. I learned that Robert grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Other people may not like this book because they would be reading about a writer. I am happy that I chose this book and I learned a lot of facts about Robert Munsch. I don’t think that I would consider Robert Munsch to be my hero and I would pick someone else. But he is still interesting to read about.
