“Children make better readers than adults. They read as carefully as I write; adults read as a means of getting off to sleep. I get letters saying 'I have read your book seventeen times.' If you're an adult novelist and you get that letter, you should be afraid. You're being stalked. Kids always read them seventeen times!” IfsShouldWritingMeanChildrenBookKidsSleepReaderAdultsLettersNovelistsSeventeen Author:Daniel Pinkwater
“I imagine a child. That child is me. I can reconstruct and vividly remember portions of my own childhood. I can see, taste, smell, feel, and hear them. Then what I do is, not write about that kid or about his world, but start to think of a book that would have pleased him.” ThinkingWorldFeelsWritingChildrenI CanBookKidsRememberMy OwnImagineChildhoodTasteSmellPortionsReconstruction Author:Daniel Pinkwater
