Pinkwater's Lizard Music was the first book I remember reading for pleasure (though it was undoubtedly for a book report), and I still think about that book to this day.

Everyone loves Charlotte Web. So very precious.

Pinkwater got mentioned in an event that is occurring at his alma mater, Bard College. I hesitate to mention it or link to the article. It's easy to look up, but if you want an answer to what, go ahead and ask.
