Bookroo's summary

Brigid adores markers and persuades her mom to buy hundreds, including some that are super-indelible. When her creativity turns to self-decoration, which markers will she use? Discover the hilarious consequences of her artistic adventure in this classic tale of colorful mischief.

From the publisher

Another laugh-out-loud book from the author of The Paper Bag Princess! Brigid really, really loves markers. She convinces her mom to buy a new set of five hundred washable coloring markers, then five hundred coloring markers that smell, then five super-indelible-never-come-off-till-you’re-dead-and-maybe-even-later coloring markers. Which markers do you think she uses when she colors on herself? A newly designed Classic Munsch picture book introduces this tale of exuberant artistry to a young generation of readers.
