Your ______ (noun) was ______ (adj.) because of something _____ (adj.) created by Leonard Stern.
Game manufacturers weren’t interested in his idea. Neither were publishers.
So after five years of rejection, Leonard and his partners decided to try the self-publishing route to see if they could make something happen on their own. Today, almost sixty years after deciding to do it themselves, Mad Libs has sold more than 100 million copies and is still going strong. (I just picked-up a “best of” collection for my boys the other day.)
Leonard Stern passed away a few days ago at the age of 88. Thanks, Leonard, for taking a chance. And for helping kids (and parents) survive never-ending family car trips and rainy summer days after all these years…
