"I imagine a child. That child is me.……" — Daniel Pinkwater

"I imagine a child. That child is me. I can reconstruct and vividly remember portions of my own childhood. I can see, taste, smell, feel, and hear them. Then what I do is, not write about that kid or about his world, but start to think of a book that would have pleased him."

— Daniel Pinkwater
