Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K?Whenever her mother suggests something, Mary does exactly the opposite. So her mother turns the tables, Mary catches on, and both dissolve in giggles. Jeram's mice are drawn with warmth and wit and frolic all over the pages, through large type and lots of white space. Toddlers who appreciate Mary and her parents will later gravitate toward Kevin Henkes's Chrysanthemum (1991) and Owen (1993, both Greenwillow) and Russell Hoban's "Frances" series (HarperCollins). A delightful choice for lap reading or story time with a small group.?Ann Cook, Winter Park Public Library, FL

Is this your child?,
This review is from: Contrary Mary (Giggle Club) (Paperback)
As a parent you may recognize your own darling child who spends a whole day doing contrary things. I did! The book has some amusing scenes. It is one of those books that kids LOVE and parents read. Not MY favorite but certainly one of my daughter's favorites!

Am I missing something?,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Contrary Mary (Hardcover)
We bought this book because it was listed as a must read on some mom's website. Well, I feel totally taken. This book is lame. I wish I had checked it out of the library first and saved myself the money. Do yourself a favor and skip this one!
5.0 out of 5 stars
I loved this book,
By Mary Sharon (Delaware USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contrary Mary (Paperback)
I read to 3-4 year olds at a day care center, and my name is Mary, so I took a chance on this book, and I am glad I did. Mary gets up in the morning feeling contrary. All day long she does contrary things (asking for roast potatoes and gravy for breakfast, riding her bicycle backwards). Finally, at the end of the day her mother turns the tables on her causing laughter and ending in a cuddle. Delightful book.
