Some children’s book characters, including people, animals, and other kinds of beings, act in odd, unexpected ways that fall outside the norm of our everyday experience. They might, for example, put their thumb in their mouth, blow hard, inflate like a balloon, and then float away with the wind. Or maybe a donkey talks and says funny things, or a dog goes to school. Whatever the case, quirky characters can really spice up your children’s book. Any Dr. Seuss book is chock-full of quirky characters, such as a talking cat with a hat, a fox that wears socks, and something called a Grinch that stole Christmas.
