Nothing prevents boredom like a good book.

My books are just pure escapism for kids.

Try to remember that being unsuccessful in school doesn't automatically mean you'll be unsuccessful in life. Lots of people who didn't excel in school still went on to have successful lives.

Most kids are smarter than most grown-ups. Kids see the world in black and white... They look through all the garbage and see a world run by fools and dullards and lazy people. And there's nothing they can do about it because they have no power.

Nothing prevents boredom like a good book.

I think my funny books are my favorites because I like to laugh so much.

Once I have the story in my head, I write it down. The illustrations usually come last.
