Untitled
[edit]hi someone move this article to the correct spelling (Osborne not Osbourne) leaving a redirect under this heading? I don't know how to do it myself (and don't think I can as an anonymous user now anyway.)
I need a list of Mary Pope Osbournes favorite books?!
Stub
[edit]- I gave this page stub status. Any objections? Nauticashades 11:51, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Help With Picture, please
[edit]Didn't use an infobox, not sure one is necessary. I have also uploaded a picture of the author - but don't know how to clean it up or include it. Looking for some help there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mary_Pope_Osborne_at_2007_Booksigning.jpg signed:ElizabethEBY3221 (talk) 05:22, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Sal Murdocca
[edit]I added a list of books (selected) other than Magic Tree House (MTH), relying on ISFDB and LCCatalog. I also stuck in a mention of MTH illustrator Sal Murdocca, who has not been mentioned/linked here--not at all. My note at the end of section 2.1 is repetitive regarding the MTH companion books. Someone who knows whether Murdocca illustrated all of the MTH fiction books, and/or perhaps all of the MTH companions, should find appropriate earlier place(s) to mention his role. --P64 (talk) 00:19, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
- Murdocca is credited with illustrating every one of the Will Osborne titles in LCCatalog from 2000 to present. See next section

Family collaboration
[edit]We mention M.P.O. husband Will land sister Natalie as her collaborators in writing--and researching, i presume-- the nonfiction MTH books.
- Will Osborne, husband
Will Osborne at Library of Congress, with 20 library catalog records
Those 20 records for W.O. include 17 (with some duplicates) dated 2000 to 2011, all illustrated by Murdocca, probably all MTH companions. The three other records for Will are two early collaborations that I have listed in this article sec 2.2--
- The Deadly Power of Medusa (Scholastic, 1988), Will and Mary Pope Osborne, illustrated by Steve Sullivan !--92pp-->
- Jason and the Argonauts (Scholastic, 1988), Will and Mary Pope Osborne, illus. Steve Sullivan !--84pp-->
--and one solo work by Will Osborne alone if the catalog is correct.
- 13 Ghosts: strange but true stories (Scholastic, 1988), 86pp[1]
- Natalie Pope Boyce, sister
Natalie Pope Boyce at Library of Congress, with 37 library catalog records
Those 37 records for N.P.B. include 36 (with many duplicates) dated 2003 to 2014, all illustrated by Murdocca, probably all companions. The one other record for Natalie is
- The Random House book of Bible stories (Random House, 2009), retold by Mary Pope Osborne and Natalie Pope Boyce; illustrated by Michael Welply, 165pp[2]
--P64 (talk) 00:43, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
- Today I added these External links for her co-writers [without the datespans]
- Will Osborne at Library of Congress, with 20 library catalog records [1988-2011]
- Natalie Pope Boyce at Library of Congress, with 37 library catalog records [2003-2014]

Much of the article reads not only like an advertisement, but a copy-pasted one
[edit]The "®" trademarks on Wikipedia part was just too much. --94.246.150.68 (talk) 11:13, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
- I could not agree more and will endeavor to make this a reputable encyclopedia article rather than the piece of PR it is today. Barkeep49 (talk)
Requested edits
[edit]@CMMTH: If you have changes that you think will improve the article please feel free to write here and we can discuss them. As a biography of a living person, it's important to treat Ms. Osborne with respect. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:47, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
