Haven't finished reading The Complete Idiot's Guide to Publishing Children's Books but, I have found it full of good and helpful hints and suggestions.

This book answers questions we never thought to ask. No doubt editors everywhere will be pleased to read submissions that have followed these sugestions. Could be sub-titled "Reduce Rejction Slip Clutter". Please don't speed-read his one.
