As a reader of children's books, both in my childhood and now I found this book to be very interesting. Each author had a few pages that talked about their childhood and what inspired them to become an author. Thinking from a child's perspective - the readers who come into my library though...
- biography is not a big seller in my library, unless it is a current musician, sports hero, or assigned for a report and collective biographies are worse
- most of the authors in this book were popular when I was a kid, while I do have some who check out Blume or Cleary it isn't much, having more modern authors would have been better
