Boys are frequently interested in trucks, and I wrote a book called Seymour Simon’s Book of Trucks. But the reason I wrote it is because I had a grandson who was just fascinated by trucks. Writing a book takes a while, and it was several years before the book actually came out. And I presented the book to him, and I said, “Joel, Grandpa has written a book for you - just for you.”
And he said, “Seymour” he calls me “Seymour.” He said, “Seymour, I’m not interested in trucks anymore.” And he saw my face fall, and he said, “But that’s all right. Benjamin,” his younger brother, “is interested in trucks.”
