Mary Quattlebaum

Yearling, 1995

Jackson Jones is a delightful summer read !
Jackson Jones and the Puddle of Thorns was a delightful, fun story. Jackson and his friends were real. They spoke like real kids, fought like real friends and had tender, loving hearts....like real kids. I used this book as an opening novel for my summer school class of 4th and 5th graders...mainly boys. They loved it!! We planted a "puddle of thorns" at our school as a follow-up, and had ...

Underground Train (Picture Yearling Book)5 reviews
Mary Quattlebaum

Yearling, 1999

A Virtual Subway Ride in the Nation's Capitol
Mary Quattlebaum's book evokes the sights and sounds of Washington, D.C., and especially of the D.C. subway system. The writing is downright poetic and is illustrated with beautiful, charming, and accurate depictions of the city. The day I bought this book, my two-year-old wanted it read to him again and again. I didn't mind; I love it too! The book is out of print and may be hard to find, but ...
  
  











  



  
Jackson Jones and Mission Greentop3 reviews
Mary Quattlebaum

Yearling, 2005

Best book I've read this summer!
I am eleven years old and "Jackson Jones and Mission Greentop" was the best book I read this summer! I like the part when Jackson finally got Blood Green, the bully. I also like the part when Jackson goes down to the company to talk with the boss! The most interesting thing was when I found out who the boss was....

The Shine Man: A Christmas Story4 reviews
Mary Quattlebaum

Eerdmans Books for Young Readers, 2001

A New Christmas Classic!
The Shine Man makes the perfect Christmas present for children of all ages! In a manner consistent with her previous works, Mary Quattlebaum's use of language and imagery brings her story to life. She captures the mood of a time before I was born, and makes me believe I was there, experiencing it first-hand. The story is simple, but impactful. I can still feel the warm glow of the Christmas ...
  
  











  



  
Winter Friends1 review
Mary Quattlebaum

Doubleday Books for Young Readers, 2005

I love Winter Friends!
I love Winter Friends! My favorite poem is "Baby Jo" because it is cute and I love babies. My brother liked "Icicle Piano" because he said it had a lot of interesting words and it sounded like music. My mom enjoyed the "Snow Angel" and "Winter Breath" poems because they reminded her of when she was a little girl and loved making snow angels and imagining what her frosty breath would look like ...
  
  











  



  
Sparks Fly High: The Legend of Dancing Point4 reviews
Mary Quattlebaum

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2006

Plus the author's name is fun
Dear Leonid Gore, I have missed you. When it comes to picture book illustrators you've a style that one cannot compare to anyone else's. I first fell in love with your work when I had the good fortune to pick up a copy of Janice del Negro's, "Lucy Dove". Your art on that folktale was without compare. Simultaneously creepy and lovely all at once. For some time now I've waited patiently for you ...

Yearling, 2000

A favorite read aloud
Excellent book to read aloud to children. My sisters and I are tea drinkers, and we each have at least one daughter, so this book of tea drinking "Aunts" with a smart daughter who manages a wonderful surprise for her mother with the help of her Aunts is much loved around our house.
  
  











  



  
Family Reunion2 reviews
Mary Quattlebaum

Eerdmans Books for Young Readers, 2004

Lovely!
I love the joy of discovering new authors and sharing them with my children, both of whom love to read as much as I do. One of my new favorites, although she's been writing for years, is Mary Quattlebaum, author of the beautifully illustrated Family Reunion (Erdman's, February 2004, hardcover, 32 pages) and the wonderful Jackson Jones chapter book series. A classic storyteller, Quattlebaum ...

A Year on My Street1 review
Mary Quattlebaum

Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 1996

Very approachable poetry
This is a great introduction to poetry for young readers. The poems are short, concrete, and colorful yet very lyrical. The illustrations are fun and perfect for the text. You can read one or two poems at a time, picking the ones that suit the season or your child's activities/interests. Most give a real flavor of life in the city which is fun if you live in the city and informative if you ...

Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2001

Grover is Great!
Grover G. Graham and Me is a great book about a boy named Ben. He lives with foster parents. His mom left him and he doesn't have any siblings. He has stayed with many different families but he becomes really attached to a baby boy in one of them. I really liked it because you always wanted to read on. Sometimes you were sort of worried about Ben and sometimes it was just a fun and happy story. ...
