Editorial Reviews

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

More About the Author

James Howe has written more than eighty books in the thirty-plus years he's been writing for young readers. It sometimes confuses people that the author of the humorous Bunnicula series also wrote the dark young adult novel, The Watcher, or such beginning reader series as Pinky and Rex and the E.B. White Read Aloud Award-winning Houndsley and Catina and its sequels. But from the beginning of his career (which came about somewhat by accident after asking himself what kind of vampire a rabbit might make), he has been most interested in letting his imagination take him in whatever direction it cared to. So far, his imagination has led him to picture books, such as I Wish I Were a Butterfly and Brontorina (about a dinosaur who dreams of being a ballerina), mysteries, poetry (in the upcoming Addie on the Inside), and fiction that deals with issues that matter deeply to him. He is especially proud of The Misfits, which inspired national No Name-Calling Week (www.nonamecallingweek.org) and its sequel Totally Joe. He does not know where his imagination will take him in the next thirty-plus years, but he is looking forward to finding out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful suspensful book that teaches compassion and kindness instead of revenge, October 19, 2007
By 
Helene Landry "maximi" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read this book with my two daughters and thought it was WONDERFUL and refreshing! Not only was it entertaining and suspenseful for all of us but it discretely teaches compassion and kindness instead of revenge. My "almost" 6 years old could read this jewel of a chapter book on her own. I recommend it so much that I'm going to buy several as gifts.

A Kid's Review

Book review by SuzetteB1
Pinky and Rex and the Mean Old Witch

If you like to read mysteries you'll like reading this book. Pinky is a boy and Rex is a girl. Rex has a sister named Amanda and one day they were playing. The ball rolled to the property of Mrs. Moron and she got mad, so then they tried and tried to get the ball, but Mrs. Morgan was watching them. I like this book and it is a real mystery book. You will have to read it to see what happen in the end.
