  • Dr. Clifford Vance Casts love for reading was
    evident at an early age. He spent a substantial
    amount of time at the library with his mother
    when he was a child. Mainly, he was interested in
    science magazines starting from the age of five
    and six. His favorite book to enjoy as a child
    was the encyclopedia and he had no trouble
    reading it from A to Z. When he wasnt able to
    understand something, he still found it all to be
    fascinating.

  • Dr. Clifford Vance Cast had some great ideas for
    science books and his mother encouraged him to
    write them for children. He didnt think they
    would ever get published, but to his surprise,
    Barrons Educational in New York wanted to take
    them on.

  • In 1992, his first two books were published,
    Where Does Electricity Come From and Where Does
    Water Come From. Both books received exceedingly
    positive reviews. This was just the beginning of
    writing educational material that was enjoyable
    to children. In 1993, two more books were
    published, Where Does Paper Come From and Where
    Does Oil Come From. Then, in 1994, his final book
    in the Clever Calvin Series, Where Did the
    Dinosaurs Go was published.

throughout the country. It was in print in the
United States for over 15 years. To this day,
they are still being published in Portuguese and
Korean. In fact, Dr. Clifford Vance Cast is still
receiving royalty checks on the series today.
