Counting Sheep
Who Gives a Hoot? Praise for Skunked : Calpurnia Tate, Girl Vet:
"Expect a fresh crop of Calpurnia readers to simply enjoy this on its own considerable merits." --The Bulletin "This is a great progression from the Lois Lowry books and Laura Ingalls Wilder's 'Little House' books." --Children's Literature This engaging introductory chapter book contains the added benefit of introducing readers to science and nature terminology as well as a bit of Texas history. . . . Entertaining, humorous, and informative. --School Library Journal, starred review on Skunked : Calpurnia Tate, Girl Vet
Praise for The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate:
"Six years after debuting in Kelly's Newbery Honor-winning The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, the budding Texas scientist returns, as curious and charming as ever, and now preoccupied with fauna instead of flora . . . Happily, the episodic narrative leaves the door wide open for further adventures--if we're lucky." --Publishers Weekly, starred review on The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate "Animal lovers will revel in the abundant anecdotes about the benevolent country vet and Travis' mangy strays--some heart-wrenching, some hilarious--while learning plenty about nature (from pond water up to the stars), the deadly 1900 Galveston hurricane, and early Texas history as recounted by Callie's scholarly and beloved Granddaddy. A warm, welcome stand-alone companion to Kelly's lauded debut." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review on The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate "Well worth waiting for . . . Readers will flock to this sequel" --Booklist, starred review on The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate "Humor and little heartbreaks abound as Callie learns animal care under the tutelage of Dr. Pritzker, the town's veterinarian. . . ." --School Library Journal, starred review on The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate Praise for The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate:
"The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate is the most delightful historical novel for tweens in many, many years. ...Callie's struggles to find a place in the world where she'll be encouraged in the gawky joys of intellectual curiosity are fresh, funny, and poignant today." --The New Yorker, Book Bench section on The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate "In her debut novel, Jacqueline Kelly brings to vivid life a boisterous small-town family at the dawn of a new century. And she especially shines in her depiction of the natural world that so intrigues Callie . . . Readers will want to crank up the A.C. before cracking the cover, though. That first chapter packs a lot of summer heat." --The Washington Post on The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate
