THE
CATALOG

The Catalog was Jasper’s first book. It was published in 1981 to great acclaim.
It was immediately awarded the International Children’s Book Award and then the
Pacific Northwest
Booksellers Award followed by a National Children’s Choice Award. It tells
the story of three playful mountains who order their favorite animals from a catalog only to discover
there are a number of new responsibilities to be dealt with. This book has delighted children and adults
ever since its publication. The original version from 1981 has been difficult to find in recent years
but the recently revived Green Tiger Press brought out a new special edition in 2003 that has blue borders
in celebration.

Years ago, Jasper had quite a tussle with a huge octopus in Puget Sound near Seattle.
He was so impressed by the experience that he was eventually inspired to write a book based on the
magical capabilities of a friendly, brilliant octopus who goes on vacation to a young boys home. This fanciful book has been in print since 1992 and has never ceased to enthrall children of all ages.
