Whimsically told in rhyme and verse and wonderfully illustrated, "Drinking Fountain Joe" is the story of an unusual sixth grade boy named Joe. Drinking Fountain Joe evokes the same sense of acceptance for unique people as Matott's previous imaginative and wonderful children's book "Ol' Lady Grizelda!"  This book is going out of print soon and you might just get one of the last copies.

From amazon.com - What a fun book,

This book teaches a valuable lesson about accepting the oddball in the classroom while entertaining the child with a great story. The glossary is hilarious and challenging. I will use this book in my classroom for years to come.
