Some of you may have read the Mouse and the Motorcycle. If you haven't, well, there's still time. Find a kid and read it to them. Just thought this was a fun piece of info about the author and the book that kind of started it all for me: http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/52606 6. Cleary had to elope with her husband because her parents disapproved of their marriage. The reason? Cleary’s parents were Presbyterian and Clarence Cleary was Roman Catholic. The pair married in 1940 and celebrated 64 blissful years until his death in 2004. They had a set of twins named Marianne and Malcolm, the latter of whom served as inspiration for Keith in Cleary’s The Mouse and the Motorcycle. |
