It really helps as an entry to start children's books December 2, 2008

I love all the dummy book series and this is one of the best. It guides you step by step and gives you a notion of children's book, how to start and publish your book. Although, I wish the book had more explanation about illustrations as I try both writing and illustrating.
Yep! Gotta have it! November 29, 2008

We all have an idea for a Children's book. This book is the key to answering your many questions about how to sculpt that great idea into something that will get your book noticed, in the stores and sold. If you are serious about Children's books or want to be, then this book is the place to start. Really! -Warner McGee (children's book illustrator)
