Daniel Pinkwater has a wierd sense of humor, but I like him. He definitely writes kids books, but like the best of them (e.g. Dr. Seuss or Rocky & Bulwinkle cartoons) can also be enjoyed by adults with a suitably sick mind. All of his books I've read do have some sort of SF, Fantasy or Non-Reality slant to them, so he really does belong in SF-Lovers. A good place to start would be the "Snarkout Boys" books.
