I can't imagine my life without books. My father was an electrical engineer, and my mother was a public school teacher. Books were an integral part of my childhood.

I hope children will be happy with the books I've written, and go on to be readers all of their lives.

I never expected my books to do even as well as they have. I still feel grateful for it, every single day.

I wish I had more time to read. I do love books.

I don't really read books. Wish I did.

One of the most important things in my childhood were the new books that came in. I feel sorry for kids today who have so many other options like television that they may not value books as much as they could enjoy them.

As a kid, books were my great escape and my salvation.

I read a whole lot as a child, and, of course, I still read children's books.

I've got a long list of books I wish I'd never written-and I've kept them all out of print for the past 20 years.
