(Kim here) Harry Potter series? I could use the cash and fame. No? OK. I think I wish I could have done the Fancy Nancy books.
I love the stories. The character is cheeky, cute and knows exactly who she is. The illustrations are great too. I want a Fancy Nancy movie. Maybe they could be fancy playing Quidditch and solving mysteries. A Fancy Nancy / Harry Potter mashup.
(Peg here) A book that I wish I could take credit for might be the dictionary. I mean really, what’s cooler than having your own language? Wouldn’t that be a great excuse, if your mother called, and you weren’t in the mood to talk to her, you could just respond, “Wuffle puk toonar imoma?” And she would have no idea what that meant, and hang up. Perhaps I should write my own language. Has anyone besides Tolkien actually done that? Oh wait – Klingon. OK, but I can do it again. Then, I’ll write a dictionary of my language. What a great idea! I wish I’d thought of this ten years ago.
