The Bob Newhart of Children's Literature

Mark Twain once stated that he could go for two months on a good compliment.  The reason I bring this up is that last week at the week-long Author-Go-Round in Santa Barbara, one of the other presenters told me that she and the other two authors agreed that I was The Bob Newhart of Children's Literature.  I'm not sure what she meant by this...maybe it's because my humor and delivery is so understated.  In any case, I'm taking it as a compliment.  I'll let you know if I can go two months on it.  Greg

Greg Trine is a truly inspirational writer and speaker. When he visited my class, he captivated my students with stories of his challenges and successes as a writer, inspiring them with lessons of perseverance and encouragement. The activities he worked on with them showed how they could embody traits of character just as noble and just as funny as Melvin Beederman's. He was very entertaining, and the evil laugh contest was a hoot!
