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

My latest ebook is published!

My latest children's picture ebook - Pipsy the Penguin - is published on Amazon!
I'm really excited about this little rhyming book, I had lots of fun writing it.
I think children pick up on the rhythm and flow of rhyming books and it's one of my favourite types to write. Rhyme and rhythm are one of the ways many caregivers can help kids develop the skills required for learning to read, whilst having fun.
I also think the best picture books are always the ones where the text and the illustrations tell the story together and this is something I always try to do.
Pipsy the pengin joins my 5 others, 3 of which are consistantly in the top 100 in their genre.

Let me know what you think of the cover art, as I do the artwork for the cover and all other illustrations myself. I've added a page from the story, for you to see too!

Can you judge a book by its cover?

I'm in the process of designing the cover to my new children's picture book but how important is it to get the cover just right?

They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but as an ebook, the cover and the description are the only two things you can judge it by.

Also, when designing a cover for a children's book, who are you aiming to please, the child or the parent/carer? Is it the picture, or the wording that is most important? What colours please most?

So, please help me with my designing - can you judge a book by its cover?
