The Catalog

When The Green Tiger Press first published this book in 1981 Publisher’s Weekly said in its review: “Three mountains just sit, day and night, until a catalog arrives in their remote desert location. Studying the offerings, one mountain decides to order 43 giraffes; the second sends for 61 turtles; and the third decides on 52 bears. The animals arrive in due time, kicking off blithe happenings that grow out of the hosts’ ideas for making the company feel at home and the guests’ generous reciproca

    In 1986 Jasper Tomkins read to my class at Lake Forrest Park elementary in Seattle, Washington. He autographed my book and it became my favorite. I read it to my kids and they now love it! It’s worn around the edges but still in great shape. I’m going to buy one for my nephew!

    My children received this when they were young (signed by the author), and it was always a favorite! A wonderful story about caring, sharing, and thoughtfulness, not to mention learning responsibility for pets. Highly recommend this!

    I was so excited to finally find this book! This was one of my favorite books literally in the 2nd-3rd grade. Now that I have kids that age, I am so happy that I get to share this book with them — and they love it too!! I have three boys which is why they love it because they all pick a “mountain” they would like to be :) My nephews have enjoyed it as well.
