Scholastic Book Clubs: Class Trip Contest


We are so excited to celebrate Robert Munsch’s latest picture book, Class Trip. Long before he started writing books, Robert Munsch was a storyteller. The first time he told his stories to a group of children was in 1972, when he was a student teacher at a nursery school. The children liked his stories, so he started telling them more often. He would often take the same story and tell it again and again, changing it a little bit each time, until it got to be really good. Kids liked how loud and animated he was while he told them stories, so he kept doing that, too. This would become his signature storytelling style.

Eventually, once his stories got really, really good, he wrote them down and sent them to a publisher. The publisher said “Yes!” to the story that became the book Mud Puddle. Today, nearly 100 Robert Munsch books have been published.

In celebration of the new book, Scholastic Book Clubs is calling all students to get their creativity hats on and dream up their perfect class trip!

Ten (10) Grand-Prize Winners will receive a copy of Class Trip for every kid in their class, plus their teacher will win $100 to put towards the most epic pizza party your class has ever seen!
