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.

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
