	Five Novels by Daniel Pinkwater
		The bizarre otherworld of Pinkwater's books, where everyday misfits find themselves significant and important while mundane life is a pale imitation of the real, weird world, is perfect for capturing the mind of anyone who believes that the world must be weirder than it appears to be.
		Pinkwater plays on the foibles and habits of adults, using teenagers as the real voices of reason and sense.
		Pinkwater uses his rogue's gallery of outcasts and oddballs to highlight the underlying silliness of day-to-day life.

	Daniel Pinkwater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pinkwater tends to write books about (frequently obese) social misfits who find themselves in bizarre situations, such as searching for a floating island populated by human-sized intelligent lizards (Lizard Music), exploring other universes with an obscure relative (Borgel), and discovering that their teeth can function as interstellar radio antennae (Fat Men from Space).
		Pinkwater is also known to avid fans of the NPR radio show Car Talk, where he has appeared as a (seemingly) random call in.
		Pinkwater offered a combination of truly humorous insight into the physics of the buttocks, and practical advice as to the choice of automobiles.

	Salon \| Welcome to Planet Pinkwater
		Pinkwater's books are ample proof that, given the right materials, kids are capable of the kind of attentiveness we associate with, say, Proust scholars or 11th-century monks.
		Witness the fan who tracked down 30 Pinkwater novels, or the author of the Hoboken Emergencyclopedia, a glossary of everything in the Pinkwater universe, from the Abominable Snowman ("a large hippie with big feet") to Zuzuki ("pushing one's opponent on the chest with one's head").
		When Pinkwater started out as a children's author, he assumed that his audience would be mostly kids like himself: bookish, slightly maladjusted, with a 10-dollar vocabulary and a taste for the bizarre.

	Welcome to Planet Pinkwater - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Welcome to Planet Pinkwater, where real estate agents are extraterrestrials, chickens sing and avocados are capable of simulating intelligent thought.
		Pinkwater looks less like a novelist than a chef, the rotund author, say, of an award-winning cookbook called "Blue Cheese and You." The resemblance isn't entirely coincidental: Food plays an important role in practically all of Pinkwater's books, as it does in his life.
		When his sculpture teacher asked nervously, "You're going to be a writer, aren't you?" Pinkwater gave up the plastic arts and, after a brief stint as an illustrator, began writing children's books.

	iBerkshires / Attention: Now entering the Pinkwater Zone -
		Pinkwater and his wife — whose training manual “Superpuppy” is still in print after more than 20 years — have owned a number of sled dogs over the years, as well as an Icelandic horse named Lokkur, which Pinkwater described as “a lot like a compact car.” But his current love is Lulu.
		And so Pinkwater’s books are populated with Huskies and Mounties, a blue moose with delusions of grandeur who’s the maitre d’ at a little out-of-the-way place famous for its gingerbread, and lots and lots of polar bears.
		Pinkwater’s people talk funny — they always refer to each other by their first and last names and tend to eschew contractions — and he makes no effort to get the latest slang just right (no 11-year-old, and probably not even some parents of 11-year-olds, will get the reference to “Here comes da judge”).

		Jill Pinkwater's fl-and-white, block-print illustrations are a perfect match for this zany story that's sure to elicit lots of grins.
		Pinkwater's Hoboken, like his Hogboro, is a dream city, one that opens itself up to explorers, revealing eccentric locals, funky hangouts and esoteric eats and drinks along the way (Avocado-Lime Soda, anyone?).
		The story's not much-- mostly a means of propelling the protagonists through the city-- but it provides a strong framework on which Pinkwater hangs his characteristically sharp dialogue, insightful kid's-eye observations, and obscure cultural references.

		The recent request for juvenile recommendations reminded me of this, and while the books might be a bit "young" to fit the original request, they're still a blast.
