Customer Reviews

I love this book!!

This is my favorite book ever!!!!!! It is about a boy who likes to make potions and things to cure his school of germs. It is very cool and interesting. My favorite part is when he gives the principal a potion that makes his hair grow. It has funny parts that make you laugh. It has a glossary at the end of the book to tell you what the words that are hard to read or understand mean. The author does a great job and I really like his writing. ALl of his other kid's books are great and my parents love his adault books. You should buy and read all of his books. They are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From a school media specialist:

We are all teaching tolerance, character education, and acceptance of others. Justin Matott's "Drinking Fountain Joe," does an excellent job of grabbing kids by the heart strings and showing them that the weird kid in their class, who is different (to say the least), may have some wonderful redeeming qualities. We have all known a "Drinking Fountain Joe." Many of these Joes grew up to be CEO's of large corporations. One of these Joes grew up to be Justin Matott. We LOVED the story.

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.
