O knihe

If you have read the book Hold On To Your Pants, then you know what a Kallaboo is. If you have not, it is a make-believe animal that you might get if you mixed together a Koala Bear and a Wallaroo (a small type of kangaroo). I have five young grandchildren, and I enjoy observing their responses to this new, strange, and wonderful world in which they have found themselves. When I'm around them, I'm almost constantly amazed at what they say and do. Also, I have wonderful memories of when I was young, so I can relate to their reactions to everyday life situations. I chose not to use human characters in my books because make-believe animals can be appreciated by all types of people, especially when they have some characteristics of human beings. Most of the accounts in this book came from my own early life experiences, or the actions of my children and grandchildren. I got the idea for the story and title when one day my three-year-old grandson said, "I am three years old and my cousin is going to be three years old in a few days, but I don't know why." It made me think of just how many things must be in his mind that he doesn't understand. When I was young, I thought life was strange and wonderful. Of course, it still is but as we get older, we adapt to life and not much surprises us anymore. We still have fun; we smile and laugh. But no matter how much we want to, we just can't do things like we did when we were young, and I Don't Know Why.
