Book Description
Mindy Starns Clark’s first two books in the Smart Chick Mystery series—The Trouble with Tulip and Blind Dates Can Be Murder—are followed with more love and adventure in this final, suspense–filled book.
When someone tries to push Jo Tulip in front of a New York train, her ex-fiance, Bradford, suffers an injury while saving her—and the unintentional sleuth is thrown onto the tracks of a very personal mystery.
Jo’s boyfriend, Danny Watkins, is away in Paris, so she begins a solo investigation of her near–murder. What secret was Bradford about to share before he took the fall? And when Jo uncovers clues tied to Europe, can she and Danny work together in time to save her life?

My Dog Tulip is the ultimate bitch session--in the canine sense of the phrase, of course. In 1947, J.R. Ackerley rescued an 18-month-old German shepherd, and from the start her every look and move were to undo him. "Tulip never let me down. She is nothing if not consistent. She knows where to draw the line, and it is always in the same place, a circle around us both. Indeed, she is a good girl, but--and this is the point--she would not care for it to be generally known." As he anatomizes her from head to toe with the awe-struck precision of a medieval courtier, Ackerley instantly turns us into Tulipomanes. Alas, many of the mere mortals she encounters feel differently, for there are indeed two Tulips. One is highly strung but heroic, flirtatious but true. The other is a four-legged rejoinder to authority: a biter, a barker, and a dab hand at defecating her way around London. Not that any of these are her fault. "You're the trouble," Tulip's one good vet tells Ackerley as she banishes him from the surgery. "She's in love with you, that's obvious. And so life's full of worries for her."
In many ways this 1956 memoir is an intimate saga of human idealism and doggish realism. Or is it the other way around? In any case, this odd couple undertakes a series of adventures, which bring them into contact with a gallery of strange, mostly martial players. There's the taunting Colonel Finch, owner of Gunner, an Alsatian suitor that Tulip finds wanting--and Captain Pugh, who had served with Ackerley in World War I and who even then was a bizarre mixture of efficiency and indolence. Decades later, in "those rare moments when he was not horizontal he would stalk about the farm buildings with great vigor, making pertinent remarks in his military voice and spreading consternation among the cows."
Ackerley stints no detail when it comes to the varieties of Tulip's urinary and anal experience. But he is concerned above all with the canine heart, and the perils of conception and whelping are at his book's center. Tulip's vita amorosa truly is a via dolorosa as she scorns and scants her aristocratic paramours. Finally, "this exquisite creature in the midst of her desire" hears of the call of-- But we shall reveal no more! My Dog Tulip should instantly make its way onto the shelves of lovers of fine dogs (of whichever bloodlines) and finer literature--and doesn't that cover most of humanity? --Kerry Fried
Book Description
J.R. Ackerley's German shepherd Tulip was skittish, possessive, and wild, but he loved her deeply. This clear-eyed and wondering, humorous and moving book, described by Christopher Isherwood as one of the "greatest masterpieces of animal literature," is her biography, a work of faultless and respectful observation that transcends the seeming modesty of its subject. In telling the story of his beloved Tulip, Ackerley has written a book that is a profound and subtle meditation on the strangeness abiding at the heart of all relationships.

My Dog Tulip is a Classic.......2007-07-05
This book was exactly as other reviewers described it; some hated it and others loved it. I was hesitant at first but decided I had to experience it. It is charming and a big reminder of how people viewed dogs in the not so distant past. Tulip's loving owner did not think of using doggie poop bags and struggled for years with where and when she eliminated. He wouldn't hear of spaying her and struggled for years with her coming in season, even having a litter of puppies he didn't want and couldn't find good homes for. All this was delightfully described in a mercifully brief book. I'm glad I read it, although I've read many other books on dogs that were more amusing and more enlightening. It is a wonderful reminder of what things were like in the 1940s and should be on the shelf of every dog lover who also loves books.
Reviewers Trash Classic!!!.......2004-02-18
Who is Kerry Fried, and why is s/he reviewing this classic? I read this book several years ago. As a story of a female shepherd and her owner, it is brutally honest, to the detail. Ackerley as a dog person, seems so indulgent and feeble. While reading, one must be mindful that the events took place in the 40's and in Briton. Perhaps he never had a dog before, and knew no better. Pups, off leash adventures, pooping issues. As subject matter, who but another shepherd lover would care. Who but a post modern dog lover would be appalled at the old fashioned beliefs and attitudes. But, and this is critical, but, the language is beautiful, the sentiment expressed is pure. And the final chapter, and final paragraph, are exquisite. I feel the passing of her life from his own, his long life stretching out so far beyond her sweet existence within it. I love my dog Olk as dearly, and dread his eventual loss.

Superb form, distressing content........2004-01-28
Being a dog lover but not a dog owner who believes that it is cruel to keep most dogs in an urban environment, and especially a large dog in a flat as the author did, I found this memoir not to be my cup of tea. Humans are portrayed in it as curious, rather unsympathetic creatures, whilst the dog at the center of his love, is romanticised despite the loving detail with which the author describes the bodily functions of the animal. I can understand though, its appeal to those with an obsession with their dog who find humans too argumentative, contrary or difficult. An instance of "horses for courses" so to speak.
A Real Dog of a Book ... and Not in a Good Way.......2002-11-15
If you want to be immersed in a definitely 1960's I'm-obsessed-with-Freud take on dog ownership from someone who should never have been allowed to own a dog ... if you're dying to discover in ad nauseum detail the fecal and urinary habits of an animal whose owner lacks the least understanding of training a dog ... if you yearn for all the details of the miseries this animal goes through whenever she's in heat, this is the book for you.
One has to wonder at the dark workings of Ackerley's psyche. There's a strident and distressing pornographical note that sounds throughout the book as he writes of his beloved Tulip. Here he is, writing of the first time she goes into heat: "I was enchanted. That small dark bud, her vulva, became gradually swollen and more noticeable amid the light gray fur of her thighs as she walked ahead of me, and sometimes it would set up, I supposed, a tickle or a trickle or some other sensation, for she would suddenly squat down in the road and fall to licking it. At such moments I could see how much lager it had grown and the pretty pink of its lining ... I felt very sweet toward her. She also felt very sweet towards me." He goes on to describe in great detail how she mounts his leg and what that's like for the 2 of them. And it's not as if this is a one-time thing.
No, folks, the ENTIRE book is a treatise detailing such events: "Now, squatting here and there upon other dogs' droppings... like some famous chef adding to a prepared dish the final exquisite flavor, the crowning touch, she left behind her in the snow as she flew a series of sorbets, and her crazed attendants were so often and so long delayed in licking them up that they eventually fell far behind."
This is not exactly the kind of thing I care to discover about an animal, however charming the dog herself might be. But what REALLY disturbed me was the misery Ackerley put this poor animal through in his obsession to find her "a husband." Worse still, once she finally managed to produce a litter, Ackerley's inclination, was to kill all the pups. "In the bathroom ... I prepared a bucket of water and a flour sack weighted with such heavy objects as I could lay my hands on ... How could I distract proud Tulip's attention while I carried out my dark deed? Soon, no doubt, she would wish to relieve nature and my chance would come."
If this is the kind of a boy-and-his-dog relationship you want to know more about, go for it. Personally, I was left feeling I'd exposed myself to the dark workings of a pretty twisted mind, and I wish I hadn't learned there are people of relate to animals the way Ackereley does.
Possibly good for potential dog breeders.......2002-10-05
I liked this book, although as a dog owner I found myself shaking my head and shocked at many of the things that were done with this dog... I do think this is a great book for anyone who is thinking of breeding their dog as it gives a good account of the trials of breeding, raising puppies, and the problems that can occur for the pups and mother.

Mystery with some fun quirks.......2007-05-28
Jo Tulip writes a household advice column, "Tips from Tulip", where she answers questions from fairly clueless housewives about household cleaning and clues them in on what they are obviously overlooking. (Not that nice about it either- saying "Be a Smart Chick!" duh your real problem is...) In the wee hours of the morning of her wedding to Bradford, a real dud, she happens upon a neighbor arguing loudly and then a car parked in the middle of the road. In a few hours she is called to that house, now a scene of a murder! The victim happens to be a fan of Jo's column; feeling an affinity for the poor old woman, Jo morphs from Suzie homemaker/MacGuyver to Nancy Drew. Conveniently enough, the woman's daughter hires Jo to clean up the house- the perfect opportunity for digging around.
Danny Watkins is in love with Jo and really doesn't want her to marry Bradford, who she has only known for six months. Danny and Jo have been best friends since they were kids. He is a sweet guy, who looks out for Jo and comes to her rescue. I'm looking forward to seeing if more develops or "blossoms" in their relationship.
A bit slow in the beginning but then the plot picks up and is a quicker read. An interesting mystery with a not too obvious culprit. Overall a pleasant surprise and I'm interested to read what more adventures are in store for Jo!
not for me.......2007-04-16
I'm not a terribly demanding reader, but I couldn't make it through this. The characters are self-consciously cutesy -- early in the story the heroine (Jo), a writer of a household hints column (think "heloise") impresses a lot of cops at the scene of a possible murder by explaining all of the seemingly odd circumstances as the deceased having used various household remedies. ("Why, chief! That green stuff on her face -- it's a homemade cucumber facial!") In theory I wouln't mind this, but for me, it just doesn't come off; the cops are too dumb and Jo is too much like a parody of a 50s housewife. When her beautiful wedding dress is badly ripped and dipped in automotive grease, she perkily sends someone for the proper ingredients for a proper home remedy. Ugh.
Then -- I don't like being preached at. It's fine if Jo and friends want to pray -- they are religious characters. But I don't need to be hit over the head with it every couple of pages. Jo's friend Danny, who thinks her planned marriage is a mistake, asks her whether she knows enough about her prospective husband's spiritual path. Do people really do this? I guess they must, but not anyone I've ever met.
Great Fun!.......2007-02-15
Mindy Starns Clark has delivered a funny, witty story with an unforgettable character.
Josephine Tulip struggles to keep her grandmother's hint column alive, dealing with issues of the modern woman. When a neighbor winds up dead, confusing the police with the abundance of shower caps, tomato juice and cucumber paste, Jo is called in to advise. Reeling from the shock of being stood up at the altar, Jo dives in to solve the case with her bestfriend, Danny.
Eternal life, empty promises, the search for love, a dog who loves throw pillows...all these and more make up this delightful and suspenseful read. I recommend Mindy's books to anyone who enjoys a quirky heroine and a sweet love story.- Cynthia Hickey, author
It's a Smart Chick Mystery.......2007-01-22
After being dumped at the altar on her wedding day and finding a dead body next door, Jo Tulip's world turns up side down. Danny Watkins, Jo's friend, and Josephine Tulip, Jo, have been friends since they were kids. And now, when it's the hardest time for her, Jo is glad to know he is there for her. Jo has a helpful hints column in several newspapers, which provides helpful information for people. Danny, who was hired by the police to take pictures of Edna Pratt's death, realized that there were a lot of weird things around the house. For example, shower caps under potted plants, a lamp turned on in a drawer, and tomato juice in the woman's hair. He called up Tulip on the day of her wedding to come and take a look. Jo had an explanation for everything because she had written about it in her column. Another thing, which she had written about in her column, was not to mix bleach and ammonia because it was fatal, but there in the house was a bucked full of it. Jo was convinced it was a murder.
So after her "almost" wedding, Jo decides to devote herself to finding evidence. She starts to clean out Edna's house for Edna's daughter. Along the way she stumbles upon some shocking evidence. Danny and her investigate further to find that the man in some of the pictures, reaching back to the early 1900's, was her brother. They did more investigating to find his name was Simon and that he and Edna were responsible for a con that was taking place. In the meantime Jo received a dog she and Bradford, her not so fiancé, had picked out together. She finally is able to convince the police chief that Edna's death was a murder. At a press conference, Jo didn't show up because she was caught by the murder, a professor from the local college. Jo was able to escape and find Danny, who provided transportation. The professor was caught and Simon died of a heart attack. I enjoyed this immensely.
Jo seemed to have an explanation for everything happened, that is one reason why I liked this book. For example, when Danny found the weird things at Edna's house he called Jo, who could explain what everything was for. Then when she found some old pictures in a secret compartment that she believed could help explain the mystery. Lastly, when a realtor was selling a house that needed serious repair, Jo suggests some things that could help the appearance.
Another reason why I liked this book was because it was full of suspense. For example, when Bradford leaves Jo at the altar and made a get away in his car and doesn't talk to her for a while. Then when Danny and Jo think Simon killed Edna, but it turned out not to be and they didn't have another lead. Finally, when Jo wakes up in her home office to her dog growling and someone trying to brake in to her house. She called the police and Danny and found out the person who had tried to brake in was an acquaintance.
This book also had lots unexpected twists and turns. First when Jo and Danny thought Simon was the one who killed Edna and everything starts to point to him and then don't. Then the story switches to Simon's point of view and he is sad and didn't know his sister died and started to remember their childhood. In the end the one person no one suspected to have murdered Edna caught Jo and held her captive `til he got what he wanted.
Lastly, I loved this book because I enjoy murder mysteries. Edna was finally done justice when they caught Keith McMann, the murder and professor. Danny and Jo's relationship didn't change, but Jo said she would give up dating for a while. The Trouble with Tulip was so good I want to read more books by this author.

Martha Stewart meets Nancy Drew.......2006-12-18
Jo Tulip has just been jilted at the altar and been involved in murder investigation, all in the same day. Her best friend Danny (who's secretly in love with her) gets Jo to come to the crime scene of an elderly woman who turns up mysteriously dead in her own home. The police rule it as an accident but with Jo's knack for household tips, she discovers it to be a murder. Theft, fraud, the deceiving of old ladies, and alchemy all come into play to as Jo and Danny try to discover the truth about really happened.
This was my first Mindy Starns Clark book and I really got a kick out of it. I loved all the household advice spread throughout the novel. Very interesting techniques given how to combat any home problem. I have yet to try out any but I may do so in the future. The murder investigation was really gutsy of Jo to do it mostly by herself. There were a lot of twists I wasn't expecting. I really Jo's character. I do hope we get a full confrontation with Bradford. The guy is a jerk. She should be happy she didn't marry him, what a wimp. I also hope Jo can work out her relationship with her parents. It'll also be interesting to see how Jo's and Danny's future will work itself out.
I really liked the letters from the advice column. I found it funny that the writers of the letters always seemed to be clueless about the situations they were writing about. I guess housewives from back then really were in the dark? Great book, great mystery, and good fun read.

I loved this book........2000-02-12
My five year old daughter has wanted to read this book every night since we got it. It is a wonderful mother/daughter story. It explores being different and accepting oneself as well as introducing children to immigrant families in America. We are not from an immigrant family, but nonethless loved this story and the peek it gives you of another family and a young schoolgirls story. Also has beautiful illustrations and a few Spanish words.

The Infinite Rose
ASIN: 1586635506 |
Book Description
This lavishly illustrated, oversized volume is a gorgeous tribute to one of the most beloved flowers of spring. The tulip has a long and storied history, including an episode in seventeenth-century Holland, when speculation in tulip bulbs raged out of control, nearly bankrupting the entire nation. Originally published at $40; over 20 thousand copies sold.
Book Description
With stunning artwork reminiscent of Rembrandt, this tender tale harks back to the days of tulip fever to illuminate the enduring love between father and child.
Hana and her father used to love to walk in the garden in the evening and play their favorite game — the one where Hana is a Renowned Physician and Papa pretends to faint dead away on the bench. But ever since tulip fever struck Holland, Hana's father has been consumed by greed. Soon he is too busy to walk in the garden or kiss Hana good night or even realize how lovely the tulips are. Even worse, the tulip market is crashing, and now Papa is falling into despair. It's up to Hana — with a little help from the painter Rembrandt, a family friend — to find a way to remind her father of what's truly valuable and bring him back to his family. Luxurious illustrations by virtuoso painter Bagram Ibatoulline bring seventeenth-century Holland to life in this poignant portrait of the persistence of love.

Tears for tulips.......2005-02-09
In the double-wide painting on its cover, a girl stands in a field of tulips. Meeting her serene gaze, you risk losing track of a few minutes - or centuries. Inside are landscapes, portraits and sketches that, likewise, pull you into another time and place. Russian-born artist Bagram Ibatoulline infused these images with the look and feel of 17th-century Holland, the time of the Dutch Master Rembrandt van Rijn. That celebrated painter is the only "real" figure from history who appears in Noyes' story, Rembrandt is the rare adult in Hana's life who remembers friendship in the midst of the materialism that surrounds her.
speculative bubble bound to burst.......2004-10-07
Been to Holland Michigan and San Fran's PIER 39 Tulipmania Festival. Just love those bulbs. This book might be aimed at children but it's truly as beautiful as any bulb. The author does a commendable job describing The great commodity crash of 1637 through a child's eye.
Hana in the Time of the absent parent.......2004-10-05
I loved Hana because I sympathize with her. My Dad is obsessed with his job and never seems to have enough time for me. I even asked him to read this book and he told me he was too busy. This story may be about tulips but it could be about any parent I know. Dr Phil should feature this book on his show. I just want to thank my teacher Ms Miller for giving me this great book to read.
Tulips Everywhere.......2004-09-29
I wanted to cut out all the pictures in this book and hang them on the wall of my room. I couldn't take my eyes off them. I'm not really sure of what the story was about, but I want to say it again, the pictures were beautiful

There are better ways to see America.......2006-09-01
1) Drawings seem a little grotesque. The proportion and perspective is often askew, and human figures are distorted. Not terribly pleasant to look at.
2) Is this a story about a trip that one of the authors took? It seems like a self-indulgent storyline ("Let me write about a trip a took!") and when I read it, I'm left wondering why I should be all that interested in this particular seven-state route.
3) Taking off all your clothes and running around because you're in Nevada? (Even if the author did this in reality, it doesn't add anything to the story. A good editor should have told them so.)
4) Weird geography. Missing from the itinerary are Indiana, Illinois, and Utah (or Idaho). Was the story too long with these included, or was their nothing witty to say about them?
Exhibitionist Hippy Loves America.......2006-01-15
This is a book about an exhibitionist hippy, who despite her hippy ways, does love America. The exhibitionist hippy, like so many tree-hugging hippies, ends up in Oregon. Good for her.
Good Fun.......2005-08-23
My two boys (ages 6 and 8) really enjoyed this book. Great illustrations and a really fun read. It's good practice for the beginning reader. Some very familiar words and some more challenging but shorter than a chapter book so it keeps their attention!
Seeing a little bit of America and too much of the boy.......2004-12-17
I evaluated this book to use with audiences outside of the United States. The book didn't communicate the message we wanted. A 16-year old (who looks about 8 in the drawings) driving across the US by himself. Then, towards the end of the book in the state of Nevada, he sheds his clothes and we are presented with a lovely illustration of his backside. It was one of those moments when I thought, "what was the author thinking" - this is book for first/second graders.
Still looking for a book that shows America in a positive light.
See the Wonders of America............2002-06-10
"When I was a boy, I didn't see much of America. My parents were homebodies, so I stayed home. But when I grew up, I knew I was different. I wanted to see America. So I bought a little green Beetle and in it I put a small box of clothes, a small bag of food, and my dog, Tulip. And we left Ohio and went across America. This is what we saw:" Inspired by author, Cynthia Rylant's own cross country trip, Tulip Sees America takes the reader on a marvelous and evocative journey from the farms of Iowa, and the vast skies of Nebraska, through windy Wyoming, the glorious mountains of Colorado, the beautiful and mysterious desert of Nevada, to Oregon, with its towering, rugged cliffs and boundless, blue ocean. Ms Rylant's eloquent and engaging text is poetic and complemented by Lisa Desimini's bold and vibrant landscapes that capture America in all its splendor. Together word and art send imaginations soaring as they take young travelers on a joyous and fascinating adventure. Perfect for youngsters 4-8, Tulip Sees America is a quiet little treasure the entire family can share, and a wonderful addition to all home bookshelves.

We have had it for years and they won't give it up!.......2007-04-12
I bought this book for Christmas when my kids were 1 and 2 years old. Now at 4 and 5, they are reading fluently. But looking at this book is still one of their favorite pastimes. I love the simple pictures and the search activities. But my feelings don't matter, my kids and all their friends love it. Highly recommended.

Lots to learn about in this book. My daughter has been studying this book since she was one, before she could talk. The book is packed with pictures of different locations and situations, each introducing new words. The illustrations are colorful and child-like. I find new things to name each time we read it.
