I was so inspired by Beverly Cleary's funny and wonderful books.
I've got a bunch of books... I rely on funny books and movies to cheer me up. Oh, but I must say, I do have the world's most perfect husband, so a cuddle from him always cheers me up. He's a good guy.
I think my funny books are my favorites because I like to laugh so much.
Johnston's books are beautifully written and among the funniest I have ever read.
I reach for funny books all the time to help me get through life.
