Text Quotes
Kevin Cornell and I have worked together a bunch  (Mac Barnett Quotes) I’m not sure we’re presenting ourselves as real role models. I don’t think literature has ever been a real place for role models  (Mac Barnett Quotes) I read The Stinky Cheese Man as an adult. I missed that book when I was a kid. I grew up mostly with books bought at yard sales, picture books from the fifties to 1975, which is really a lucky thing  (Mac Barnett Quotes) It’s a sort of patronizing idea that literature for children has to feature role models of exemplary behavior. I think not only is that bogus, but it leads to really boring books  (Mac Barnett Quotes) I think the trick of writing a good picture book manuscript is to leave that space for illustration. An illustrated novel can do the same thing  (Mac Barnett Quotes) Pranking is a great way to indicate the underlying absurdities of the world  (Mac Barnett Quotes) Pranking exposes the truth that underneath this appearance of order is joy, laughter, and disorder  (Mac Barnett Quotes) Not only is a good prank harmless, but, like a good story, it reveals an essential truth that would otherwise be hidden  (Mac Barnett Quotes) Every Librarian is a highly trained agent. An expert in intelligence, counterintelligence, Boolean searching, and hand-to-hand combat  (Mac Barnett Quotes) Dana was what Steve called a silent partner in the Brixton Brothers Detective Agency. Being a silent partner meant that Dana didn’t carry a business card, that his name didn’t appear on the company letterhead, and he wanted nothing to do with the Brixton Brothers Detective Agency.  (Mac Barnett Quotes) Not only is a good prank harmless, but, like a good story, it reveals an essential truth that would otherwise be hidden.  (Mac Barnett Quotes) Danger is the snack food of a true sleuth  (Mac Barnett Quotes) Too often we tell kids pleasant stories devoid of truth, and stories without truth are not good stories. Our audience deserves more from us  (Mac Barnett Quotes) I’d much rather have a book that a few people love intensely than a book that a lot of people like okay  (Mac Barnett Quotes)
