  • I'm not interested in creating a book that is read once and then placed on the shelf and forgotten. I am very happy when people have worn out my books, or that they're held together by Scotch tape.

  • Wherever I go, I'm watching. Even on vacation, when I'm in an airport or a railroad station, I look around, snap pictures, and find out how people do things.

  • Artists paint pictures. The best artists paint pictures for children's books.

  • Librarians lend people books from the library. The best librarians are children's book librarians.

  • I am very happy when people write that they have worn out my books, or that they are held together by Scotch tape. I consider that the ultimate compliment.

  • It's a precious thing to be communicating to children, helping them discover the gift of language and thought.

  • Everything has an educational value if you look for it. But it's the fun I want to get across.

  • There are all kinds of writers. The best writers write children's books.
