I think the most creative minds stick to children's storytelling because we are so easily drawn in to those fantastical worlds of imagination's creation in our youths, and a number of us grow out of that as we get older. Suspension of disbelief becomes not only difficult for some, but some even go so far as to come to look down on the fantasy genre and dismiss it as child's play. Some people believe that growing up means leaving those pages and places behind, so those creative minds stick to the places where their audience will appreciate such flights of fancy. In my humble. And, great examples, too. Though it's weird, I never read Dahl as a kid, just in my later years. I agree, Josh.

Some of the greatest creative minds can be found in childrens Authors. In fact, almost every thread of creativity I have, I can directly link back to a memory of a childrens book. Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl & Comic Book writers - established in me an imagination which has led my professional and personal growth. Really great post.

My favorite as a kid had to be If I Ran the Circus. Ah, poor Mr. Sneelock. He never did mind. I continue to crack open his books as a breath of fresh words. I too was lucky to have parents who encouraged me to read and who emphasized writing. Great post. Dr. Seuss remains one of my favorite authors. My favorite as a kid had to be If I Ran the Circus.
