[ Adult Novels] Was The World Of Grownups. There Was Nothing About Teenagers.

In A New York Post Interview, Judy Blume, Author Of Young-adult Fiction, Gave This Advice On Getting Your Kids To Read: "moms Come Up To Me At Book Signings And Describe How They're Telling Their Daughters, 'these Were My Favorite Books,'?" She Says. "i Say, 'quit It! That's The Biggest Turnoff!'"you Want To Get Them To Read Them, Leave Them Around The House And Every So Often, Say, 'you're Not Ready To Read This Yet.'

I Would Make Up [theodor] Seuss-like Books At Night When I Was Cleaning Up From The Dinner, You Know, Putting These Little Kids To Bed, Reading Them Rhyming Books. And So That's What I Started Doing. They Were Really Bad. I Have Some In A Box And It Says On The Box, It's A Note To My Kids You Know, When I Die, If You Ever Publish These I Will Come Back And Haunt You.

I Wanted To Write Honest Books For Kids Because I Didn't Have Those When I Was A Kid.
