THINK QUICK with Author Monica Kulling

Hi Monica! Congrats on the upcoming May 1st release of your second Tweedles picture book, The Tweedles Go Online.  I love the family dynamic and subtle pieces of history that are weaved into this story. All of the THINK QUICK themes below appear in your book.  Let’s see which way you lean.  Remember, THINK QUICK!

On Communication:
Talk on the Phone or In Person?  


Definitely, in person. It’s more fun!


On Personalities:
Private like Papa or Open like a Book? 

I’m open like a book, especially with my friends.
 

On Honesty:
Frank like Frankie or Polite like Frances? 

With each passing year, I become more and more frank like Frankie. Sometimes I enjoy it, but other times, I long for my younger, more polite self.


On Talking:
Talk your Ear Off or Quiet Observer? 


Quiet observer. No doubt about that. I’m not a big talker.


On Phone Ringing:
Answer Now or Let the Machine Get it? 


Let the machine get it, since picking up that ringing phone may result in a lengthy conversation, which I may not want, especially if I’m working. 


On Problems:
Quick to Yell “Fire” or Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff?
 

I don’t sweat the really small stuff, but if the problem is huge, I yell fire! Absolutely.  


On Phones:
Can’t Live With It or Can’t Live Without It?
 

I don’t think I could live without a home phone, but I do walk around the city without a cell phone. There are one or two phone booths still available in Toronto.

On Technology:
The Newer the Better or Stick With Tried and True?
 

I stick with tried and true and find adjusting to new technologies and upgrades a trial.


On Friend Interaction:
Talk on the Phone or Get Together for Games? 


Get together for games, as in, crockinole!


On Books:
The Tweedles Go Online or The Tweedles Go Online?

    As a children’s writer, and a teacher, my goal is to help you carry on.  Sometimes learning is challenging, so why go it alone?  Your journey will be more meaningful and comfortable with friends to share it with. Together, we'll get up close and personal with authors, illustrators, and the best of picture books.  If we work together, great things will follow!
