About the Author
James Howe is the author of more than ninety books for young readers, including the modern classic Bunnicula and its highly popular sequels. In 2001, Howe published The Misfits, the story of four outcast seventh-graders who try to end name-calling in their school. The Misfits is now widely read and studied in middle schools throughout the country, and was the inspiration for the national movement known as No Name-Calling Week (NoNameCallingWeek.org), an event observed by thousands of middle and elementary schools annually. There are three companion novels to The Misfits: Totally Joe (2005), Addie on the Inside (2011), and Also Known as Elvis (2014). Howe’s many other books for children from preschool through teens frequently deal with the acceptance of difference and being true to oneself. Visit him online at JamesHowe.com.
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-- A remarkably sensitive boy, Pinky; his little sister, Amanda; and Rex, a forthright girl who collects dinosaurs, learn to cope with a nasty old woman. After a particularly unpleasant encounter with "the mean old witch," Pinky and Rex plan revenge. Pinky comes to realize, however, that the elderly woman may just be lonely, and he comes up with a better way to cope with her. This is not a fairy tale, so the woman does not turn into a good elf; however, the subtle transformation from cantankerous to just grumpy is very satisfying. Although Pinky and Rex spark faint memories of Dick and Jane, they are far more intriguing. This fourth book about the two friends stands alone, but confusion about who is Pinky and who is Rex can be avoided by reading the first book that explains Pinky's love for pink. Sweet's vibrant illustrations, crisp with color, show how effective a simple line can be within the simplicity of representative cartoon art--watch the eyebrows. All this and a cookie-baking father make a delightful read aloud or a satisfying book for all young readers who encounter people who may have "forgotten how . . . to love." --Jody McCoy, Casady School, Oklahoma City
