Rene loves to play "pretend" but sometimes there's no substitute for the real thing.
After convincing her dad to build her a playhouse, a playbarn, and play farm animals, Rene feels something is missing -- people! Rene wants a play mommy and a play daddy to go along with her new playhome. But Rene's parents don't like the idea, and so she creates cutout-parents from cardboard instead. But when she finds that her parents have replaced her with a play Rene, she quickly realizes that REAL families are the best of all.

Praise for Robert Munsch
"[Munsch is] arguably the most published Canadian author ever, in any genre." -- The Globe and Mail Report on Business Magazine
"[Munsch's] 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." -- The Chronicle Herald
"Munsch is now as important to a whole generation of children as any television character." -- Quill & Quire
ROBERT MUNSCH started telling stories when he was teaching in a daycare, to get the kids to settle down. Now he is Canada's number one author for young readers with more than 80 books in print, including such bestsellers as The Paper Bag Princess (La princesse dans un sac), We Share Everything! (On partage tout!), So Much Snow! (La tempête du siècle) and Love You Forever. Every one of his stories was first told aloud to children - and each one is dedicated to the kid who inspired the story. He is a member of the Order of Canada, has a star on Canada's Walk of Fame, and is a hero to generations of young readers. In 2021 he was nominated for the prestigious international Astrid Lindgren Award. Robert Munsch lives in Guelph, Ontario. Visit him online at http://scholastic.ca/munsch/.
