Books are Magic and Passports to Adventure No Travel Required: An Interview with Wendy Mason Geoghegan

First met Wendy when I was visiting a local bookstore. Bill Moore and David Booth, both featured in an earlier issue of Teaching and Learning suggested that if I wanted to know anything about children's books Wendy Mason-Geoghegan would be the one to interview. It turns out they were absolutely right. She is as in love with books as anyone I know and she transmits her love and enthusiasm for her "friends" as she calls them to all. Since children' s literature and reading with and to children surfaces in almost every article or commentary about how to increase literacy with youngsters, I decided to interview Wendy about the topic.
