Didn't the people who made those license plates care about little girls named Ramona?

I grew up before there were strict leash laws.

I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library.

Children should learn that reading is pleasure, not just something that teachers make you do in school.

If you don't see the book you want on the shelves, write it.

Ramona stepped back into her closet, slid the door shut, pressed an imaginary button, and when her imaginary elevator had made its imaginary descent, stepped out onto the real first floor and raced a real problem. Her mother and father were leaving for Parents' Night.

My mother would read aloud to my father and me in the evening. She read mainly travel books.
