My reading preferences are kind of all over the board - I read nonfiction, I read graphic novels.
I had a lot of reading problems growing up.
Nothing prevents boredom like a good book.
My freshman English professor at Kent State University in 1984 told me I was a good writer, and she loved all the silly pictures I drew in my notebook. She said I should try writing children's books, and so I did.
Encourage kids to be creative without worrying about being perfect.
A book without potty humor is like a banana split without hot fudge. It can still be good, I suppose, but you kinda get the feeling that something is missing.
