| | BookPage Children's Interview: The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs |
 | | Joyce was supposed to be working on another book, one called Billy's Booger, inspired by a story he wrote in fourth grade, and for which he got sent to the principal's office. |
 | | Joyce says he often does his best work when he doesn't fully understand it, as was the case with Bentley & Egg, about a frog who heroically protects the egg of his best friend, a duck. |
 | | Joyce sums up his style by saying, "I do blissful, high adventures where everyone is kind, good, witty, brave, and frightfully well dressed, and where everything works out for the best." Among his fans are Whoopi Goldberg, Bette Midler, Robin Williams, Harrison Ford, and Stephen Spielberg, all of whom own Joyce originals. |
