Cassia Joy Cowley DCNZM OBE (née Summers, born 7 August 1936), best known as Joy Cowley, is a New Zealand author of children's fiction, novels, and short stories.

Her first novel, Nest in a Fallen Tree (1967), was adapted into the 1971 film The Night Digger by screenwriter Roald Dahl. Following its success in the United States, Cowley wrote several works for adults: her novels Man of Straw (1972), Of Men and Angels (1972), The Mandrake Root (1975), and The Growing Season (1979) typically focused on families dealing with issues such as marital infidelity, mental illness, and death. Cowley has also published several collections of short stories, including Two of a Kind (1984) and Heart Attack and Other Stories (1985). Cowley is known primarily for her children's fiction. Her children's novel The Silent One (1981), was made into a 1985 film; other works include Bow Down Shadrach (1991) and its sequel Gladly, Here I Come (1994).

She has written 41 picture books, which include The Duck in the Gun (1969), The Terrible Taniwha of Timberditch (1982), Salmagundi (1985), and The Cheese Trap (1995). The Duck in the Gun and Salmagundi are explicitly anti-war books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute rhyming book
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2011

We checked this book out from the library when my daughter was about 18 mos old. She loved it so much, we had to buy it. We got to the point where I had memorized the entire book, and when she would get fussy in the car, I would recite it to her. Very cute, and the "meanies" never scared her...we thought they were funny...they all smile and giggle.

Some of the text from the back page is missing because the paper has been ripped off. I will still use it with my preschoolers because they can't read and the pictures are so great!

very cute rhyming book that young toddlers will love. If you can purchase this book your 2 to 6 year old will love it. I purchased after my 2 year granddaughter took it from the library and had me read it every day, 5 times a day for the 2 weeks she had it.
