Dan Gutman Revealed

What is your greatest achievement? A. Turning reluctant readers into enthusiastic readers Q. How would you describe perfect happiness? A. I don't think there's any such thing.

I'm perfectly happy right now, but I'm always looking to make myself a better person anyway. Q. Who is your favorite fictional villain? A. Dr. Evil Learn more about Dan Gutman
