The Munch Bunch is a series of children's books,[1] created in the UK by Barrie and Elizabeth Henderson and originally published between 1979 and 1984.
The Munch Bunch are a group of unwanted vegetables, fruits, legumes and nuts who were swept to the corner of a shop but ran away together and set up home in and around an old, forgotten garden shed.[2]
A spin-off television programme also ran for four series during the early 1980s.
In addition, a licensed range of children's yoghurts- originally a tie-in with the television series-[3] were launched in the early 1980s. "Munch Bunch" yoghurts and fromage frais continue to be marketed today, albeit using a cow mascot[4] and with little remaining connection to the original characters and stories.
