If writing comedy is hard, authors who write comedy for young audiences must have very special and unique talents. Tonight on Inquiry we speak with the world’s most respected writer on children’s literature LEONARD MARCUS. He has assembled a collection of interesting and entertaining interviews that he conducted with noted children’s authors like Judy Blume, Daniel Handler, Norton Juster and Jon Scieszka about how they write “funny” for young people. Tune in and learn why children find Captain Underpants infinitely hilarious. Leonard Marcus’ book is titled FUNNY BUSINESS: CONVERSATIONS WITH WRITERS OF COMEDY.
