Reviewed Titles Bea and Mr. Jones	Amy Schwartz Reviews Added June 12, 2007 Bea and Mr. Jones Author: Amy Schwartz Illustrator: Amy Schwartz Publisher: Harcourt, Inc Available At: Bookstores Everywhere Publishing Date: Available Now Genre: Children: Storybook Format: Hardback – reprint Price: $13.95 ISBN-10: 0-15-205811-7 ISBN-13: 978-0-15-205811-1 Reviewer: Sharyn McGinty Rating: 8.5 Gargoyles Bea is tired of silly stuff she does in kindergarten; her father Mr. Jones is tired of the stress at his job. Their solution? Switch places for the day. In this favorite tale (A Reading Rainbow selection among other honors) a father and daughter find their place in the world. I must confess that I adore this book, having read it often when I was younger. Schwartz’ illustrations, while monochromatic, add vitality and action to the enchanting story. Fun for all ages, Bea and Mr. Jones offers parents and children a chance to reconnect. Return to top of page.
