"You are curious and quick, you have a deft mind, and for some unaccountable reason, people tell you things -- useful things."

Previous Quote

Anyone who writes down to children is simply wasting his time. You have to write up, not down. Children are demanding. They are the most attentive, curious, eager, observant, sensitive, quick, and generally congenial readers on earth.... Children are game for anything. I throw them hard words and they backhand them across the net.
