Inspiration
According to Perlman, the books are based on stories she used to tell her son, Jake, and they incorporate many of the suggestions he made at the time. Perlman still consults her son about the technicalities of Otto's inventions. The inspiration for Brink of the Ex-Stink-Tion came from a family trip to Kenya and Tanzania on a safari. There are six books planned in the series altogether.

Famous quotes containing the word inspiration:
“Poets should be lawgivers; that is, the boldest lyric inspiration should not chide and insult, but should announce and lead, the civil code, and the days work. But now the two things seem irreconcilably parted.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“For a painter, the Mecca of the world, for study, for inspiration and for living is here on this star called Paris. Just look at it, no wonder so many artists have come here and called it home. Brother, if you cant paint in Paris, youd better give up and marry the bosss daughter.”
—Alan Jay Lerner (19181986)
“The ironies in the commonplace are my inspiration and delight.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
