I Don't Ever Go On The Internet.

I Had A Very Wise Mother. She Always Kept Books That Were My Grade Level In Our House.

I Was A Very Observant Child. The Boys In My Books Are Based On Boys In My Neighborhood Growing Up.

I Don't Necessarily Start With The Beginning Of The Book. I Just Start With The Part Of The Story That's Most Vivid In My Imagination And Work Forward And Backward From There.

We Didn't Have Television In Those Days, And Many People Didn't Even Have Radios. My Mother Would Read Aloud To My Father And Me In The Evening.

Don't Stop Now. Go Ahead! Be Readers All Of Your Lives. And Don't Forget, Librarians And Teachers Can Help You Find The Right Books To Read.
