FREE! Picture ebook - 'Slippy the Slimy Slug' by Paula McBride

For one day only - 16th March, my children's picture ebook, 'Slippy the Slimy Slug!' is FREE to download from Amazon!

Just one of my 6 children's picture books on Amazon, 'Slippy the Slimy Slug!' is a cute and squelchy story about four sluggy friends, called Slippy, Frank, Slops and Archibald.
In fabulous rhyme, they tell you, in their own words, what it is like being a oozy, sticky slug!
With wonderful illustrations, that bring their characters to life, your little ones will love the gooey, sliminess of this adorable little picture book!
I would love a 'like' on Amazon - if you enjoyed the story - or even a review, that would be great!
Thanks, and enjoy!
Paula

Children's Picture Book "Slippy, the Slimy Slug" doing well!

My latest book "Slippy, the Slimy Slug" is doing really well.
I'm so pleased!
I've had some lovely comments, saying the illustrations are clear and bright and the youngsters love them.  It seems rhyming books are still very popular. My other rhyming book "Hairy, Scary Spider?" is my best seller in the UK and in USA.
I've also put them on my website - I think that helped.

Check out the sample pictures, if you wish, on my website.

HELP! Who buys a picture book, and why?

Who is it that chooses a picture book?
Is it the parent/grandparent/carer who chooses? And do they choose because of the picture on the front, or because of the description in the blurb?
Then again, is it the child, who looks down the thumbnails and chooses the picture he/she likes best?
These are very important questions to picture book writers!
My picture book "Hairy Scary Spider?" is outselling my others on Amazon. Is it because of the simple front cover?
What do you think?
Please let me know of your experiences, because I've just finished another simple story and wonder if I ought to follow the example of having a 'simple' front cover.
