Meet the Author

Clare Turlay Newberry (1903-1970) was born in Eugene, Oregon. She studied art at the University of Oregon, School of the Portland Art Museum, the California School of Fine Arts, and La Grand Chaumière in Paris, France. She received the Caldecott Honor for four of her books: T-Bone, The Baby Sitter (1951); Marshmallow (1943); April's Kittens (1941); and Barkis (1939).

In Ms. Newberry's own words, "Every word of marshmallow is true, even to the drawing of them wrapped in each other's arms. I know people find this hard to believe, but the bunny was so little and was so convinced that Oliver was his mother, what could Oliver do but be his mother the best way he could?"

    Wonderful and classic

    I gave this book to a 3 year old and he demanded immediate reading. There were other children present from 3 through 7 and all loved it! The message of this delightful read was appropriate for each of the ages. It is now being enjoyed every evening before bed. This book is destined to become a classic at our house!

    Sweet story, lovely illustrations.

    Clare Newberry's adoration for her subjects shines through her illustrations. They're simple but vibrant and engaging. The story centers on Oliver the cat--how he likes routine and enjoys the quiet of his indoor life, and how he reacts to Marshmallow, a baby rabbit who comes to live with him. I plan to buy this book as a gift for the young children in my life.
