About the Author

Catrow, David: -

David Catrow has illustrated numerous books for children, among them Who Said That? by Robert Burleigh. David modeled the little boy in the That's Good! That's Bad! books after his son, D.J., when D.J. was five years old. Mr. Catrow lives in Springfield, Ohio, with his family.

Cuyler, Margery: - Margery Cuyler is the author of many books for children, including The Little Dump Truck, The Little School Bus, The Little Fire Truck, and That's Good! That's Bad!The idea for That's Good! That's Bad! was inspired by a conversation with her young son, Thomas, who asked, "Can't bad things change into good things?" The vehicle series was inspired by both her young sons who never tired of playing with cars, trucks, and trains. Margery Cuyler's children have since grown up, so these days much of her inspiration comes from the children she meets on school visits. She and her husband recently moved to Lawrenceville, N.J.

Praise for this book

"Cuyler's fanciful tale is energized by exclamations that beg to be read aloud. Catrow's witty cartoons paint the jungle in a humorous light and hilarioiusly depict the boy's alternating terror and relief. And that's good!" --Publisher's Weekly

"This rollicking romp through the animal kingdom features vibrant, richly colored cartoon illustrations in a style that is reminiscent of Bill Peet's. It will keep children engaged from beginning to satisfying end. They'll beg for another reading." --School Library Journal

"A surefire hit, the book amuses, delights, and frightens, all within the safe confines of the pages." --Booklist
