I don't know where I got the idea for 'The Great Thumbprint Drawing Book'; I just told my brain to think of a book, and it did.

I don't know how old I was when I started writing books. But, I was born in 1931, and I wrote my first book in 1961.

My favorite book is 'Go Away Big Green Monster.' I wrote it for my granddaughter Adrian, who was in the third grade at the time.

Some of my tattoos are a bit silly, but I know where and what time I got them.

I think it's so important to feed your brain you know. Sometimes you've just got to read.

Everyone who likes my books is like me in some way.
