If You Don't See The Book You

Children Want To Do What Grownups Do.

One Rainy Sunday When I Was In The Third Grade, I Picked Up A Book To Look At The Pictures And Discovered That Even Though I Did Not Want To, I Was Reading. I Have Been A Reader Ever Since.

Neither The Mouse Nor The Boy Was The Least Bit Surprised That Each Could Understand The Other. Two Creatures Who Shared A Love For Motorcycles Naturally Spoke The Same Language.

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.

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