Mel Boring
Melvin Lyle "Mel" Boring (born September 12, 1939) is an American children's author specializing in non-fiction. A member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, Boring has produced works such as ''Incredible Constructions and the People Who Built Them''; ''Caterpillars, Bugs, and Butterflies''; and ''Guinea Pig Scientists: Bold Self-Experimenters in Science and Medicine'' (coauthored with Leslie Dendy). Boring also travels the world to speak to students about book writing and publishing while he wears a Cat-in-the-Hat costume. ==Biography== Melvin Lyle Boring was born in St. Clair Shores, Michigan to Harold Truman (an electrician) and Helen Irene (née Hatfield) Boring. Boring earned his B.A. from Sterling College, Kansas, in 1961, and attended Princeton Theological Seminary, where he received his Master of Divinity (M. Div.) in 1965. He began as an educator, which sparked his interest in writing books for children. He claims he had difficulty learning to read in early childhood, although he loved to hear books read to him. Those books, especially Dr. Seuss' ''The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins'', served as inspiration for his career in writing.〔(Profile ), authorsillustrators.com, April 4, 2007.〕
