I always wondered why her stories were so intriguing and now I can understand why. It is great that she has been able to incorporate her personal experiences as a reader and librarian to reach a wider audience of young readers. One can definitely see she took the suggestions made by children to create her work and provide them with what they had been looking for instead of assuming what readers want. Growing up I was mainly familiar with the Ramona Quimby series and The Mouse and the Motorcycle, however, the list of her work made me realize the extensive collection of books she has made over the years!
