Children Want To Do What Grownups Do.

I Enjoy Writing For Third And Fourth Graders Most Of All.

I Was An Only Child; I Didn't Have A Sister, Or Sisters.

As A Child, I Disliked Books In Which Children Learned To Be 'better' Children.

I Hope Children Will Be Happy With The Books I've Written, And Go On To Be Readers All Of Their Lives.

If We Finished Our Work, The Teacher Would Say, 'now Don't Read Ahead.' But Sometimes I Hid The Book I Was Reading Behind My Geography Book And Did Read Ahead. You Can Hide A Lot Behind A Geography Book.
