Abstract

Writing a children’s book is hard.

I know, I’ve never done it. I think it’s too hard . . . not that I wouldn’t like to, though.

I’ve been witness lately to a few happenings that have made me ponder children’s book publishing and how people view it. For the longest time, many outsiders believed it was easy to write a children’s book—after all, it’s just a few pages and the readers are, after all, only children. Even Dr. Seuss’s publisher Bennett Cerf dared the master of rhyme to write a book using only 50 words; should be easy, right? Seuss sure showed him!
