Frankly, writing poetry for children is plain old fun, and I consider myself blessed to have such a delightful career.
From Jack Prelutsky
Children seem naturally drawn to poetry - it's some combination of the rhyme, rhythm, and the words themselves.
After I'd produced about two dozen pen and ink drawings, one evening I decided that they needed poems to accompany them. I still have no idea where that notion came from, but it took me about two hours to produce verses for these creatures.
