This is a semi-reference to the name I pitched "My Cage" under, "Not-So-Wild-Life"

Does Charles Schulz count? I read every. Single. Book. Multiple times.

Robert ALAN Bryan

I was an early reader and skipped Dr. Suez Canal. I guess Walter Farley's Black Stallions series and The Hardy Books stuff.

Stephen Gilberg

I just realized from the navel and nipples that your Max is wearing a human suit.

Kenneth Glaldden

The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster and illustrated by Jules Feiffer

Yer pal Mikey

Zach Weinersmith for his new book "Bea Wolf" - it is awesome!

John W. Kennedy

When I was actually a child? Eleanor Cameron and her “Mushroom Planet”/”Mr. Bass” series. Long-term? Definitely Oz.

Richard Estel

I was a big fan of the Dr. Doollittle books. Never saw the movies; I think they would take away much of the magic.

Jon Benson

Farley Mowat's The Dog Who Wouldn't Be, and Lost In The Barrens (also titled Two Against The North.) I also like Robert Heinlein's Have Spacesuit, Will Travel.

I can't think of a favorite kids' book, but my fave kid author has to be Maurice Sendak, who created the book MC is spoofing above. Way too long to get into here, but I found a copy of The Adventures of Benjamin Pink, about a shpwrecked rabbit that I really liked in grade school; it turned out a part of the story I remembered vividly...wasn't actually in the book! (BTW, another LOL strip today; love the Wild Things monster as an office boss!)

Diana Wynne Jones. She was a British fantasy writer starting in the 1970s, and she's just extraordinary. Masterful exposition, compelling emotional insights and incredibly imaginative--she had numerous standalones and several series. Short stories too. I have read my 8-year-old Archer's Goon, Eight Days of Luke, and the Warlock at the Wheel collection. I'm currently reading him The Spellcoats and am preparing him for The Lives of Christopher Chant, one of my all-time favorites. I've read him the griffin-hatching selections from The Pinhoe Egg, which comes later in the Chrestomanci series. The Homeward Bounders and Power of Three are also on my shortlist of most immediate titles to read him. She's probably most famous for Howl's Moving Castle--hers is a very different tone from the movie--a light, bright, sparkling fairy-tale sendup that builds its own world. A great one to start your kids with, followed by Castle In The Air. To read to your kids I'd also recommend The Lives of Christopher Chant if you think they have the familiarity with cricket and Victorian England to be getting on with. For you (and for them if they have enough fantasy under their belts to really enjoy an ironic twist) I recommend Dark Lord of Derkholm and Year of the Griffin.
