children's book authors I learned to loathe due to my children's library job

Tags: 
  • Gail Gibbons -- *I* could write her books. You could write her books. Better yet, someone could create computer program to write her books. One could just type in a subject (fire engines, weather, planets, or anything else of interest to the preschool/kindergarten set) and hit the return key and rake in the royalties
  • Seymour Simon -- see above.
  • Avi -- what's up with the single name? pick current social topic, add angst and kids.

I got a summer job in the Children's Department of the Rockville Public Library. It's great except I have to write out order cards for this stuff.
