A LOOK INSIDE THE AUTHOR

It has been said that some of his
books are based on his experience
with school Frog and Toad are really
two aspects of myself.
He was is said to have considered
himself a day dreamer rather than
an artist "I cannot think of any work
that could be more agreeable and
fun than making books for children."
