About the Author

As a child in West Virginia, Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant devoured comic books and paperback romances. She never dreamed of being a writer until she took one college English class. Then she became "hooked on great writing...I didn't know about this part of me until I went to college didn't know that I loved beautiful stories." One night, inspired by the Southern writer, James Agee, she wrote her first picture book, When I Was Young in the Mountains, which was an instant success. Since then, she's written more than 60 children's books and received numerous awards, including the Newbery and the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award. With simplicity and grace, Rylant's books explore such subjects as aging, the trials of spirituality, the loss of a loved one, and the spirit and integrity of family life with all its joys and hardships. Rylant has said, "Books alter our hearts." Her books are a testament to this promise. Rylant lives in the Pacific Northwest.

Reviews

Kindergarten-Grade 2-Another episodic entry in the popular beginning-reader series. This time the endearing pig finds that sharing an activity with a friend is much more fun than doing it alone. First, Poppleton goes to a movie by himself, which he does not enjoy at all; then he designs and sews a quilt with friends, swapping stories as they work; finally, he abandons his luxurious bath plans to go out for banana splits with his friend Cherry Sue. The colorful illustrations add just the right touch of whimsy.
