Writing and writing process: Michael Ian Black, author of NAKED! and I'M BORED

Michael Ian Black may be a comedian, but he is also an excellent writer....not just of children's books but also books for adults (I loved his YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT). Here are a few great articles about his writing posted recently:

Children's Humor Stripped Down With NAKED! - Marcie Colleen on why Michael's understanding of kid humor sets him apart from many celebrity books. Via Children's Book Academy website.
