For this week's Saturday Word Play, we look at Robert Munsch illustrators. Munsch, and probably most picture book authors who don't illustrate their own work, usually gets all the glory. However, it's called a "picture" book for a reason. In fact, one of this week's answers I actually prefer over Munsch himself! (I won't say who it is, but it's number 6). I'll give you a title, you tell me the illustrator. Combining the answers to the clues will reveal the last name. For instance, if I gave you:Get Me Another One
- Sault --- Marie
- Wilma's husband's initials
- Tropic of Cancer author: Henry Mil---
You could work out work out that ste + ff + ler= STEFFLER (Shawn Steffer).

It's my favorite Munsch book of all time, because I am Elizabeth and my husband is Ron, the bum.
I cheated and just looked at my book's front page. He does most of Munsch's books, no?
Raidergirl: He's definitely done the most, though #2 has done quite a few as well.
7. Millicent and the Wind
- Canadian cigarette brand: (Du)Maurier
- Flock of Seagulls tune: "I (ran) (So Far Away)"
- Famous mime: Marcel Mar(ceau)
Suzanne Duranceau. Millicent and the Wind is my favourite Munsch book but I still had to dig out our copy for the first name!
# 5, Lighthouse: a Story of Remembrance is Wilson. Somebody Wilson.
# 9 is Eugenie Fernandes.
Barbara - it is Janet Wilson.
Wanda: I've only read that one once, but I don't recall much about it.
Barbara: I think Lighthouse came about when Munsch realized what a money making machine sap is, thanks to Love You Forever.
Jo-Ann: We've got a lot of books illustrated by Fernandes. She's quite prolific.
