You can break down anything for a child, and you have to know what your child is ready for and what your child is not.

I fly my geek flag proudly. Absolutely.

And it's here and it's ready and we can really revolutionize the way we educate our children with tablet computers, and I'm committed to doing whatever I can to speaking to whomever I can to send this signal - to pound this message home. Now is the time.

Libraries do one thing that no other institution does and that's provide access to all.

I'm a firm believer and always have been that there aren't all that many things that you should not express to children in an age-appropriate manner, and as a parent, that is your job - to be discerning as to whether or not your child can handle the information, provided you have the ability to express yourself in that age-appropriate way.

Maturity is a series of shattered illusions.

For me, a good children's book is a good children's book is a good children's book.
