I have to disagree on this one, guys. I think that, if you check the print
copy and find the word spelled incorrectly there, you should leave it that
way in the Bookshare copy, for the sake of authenticity. In this particular
case that's my only reason, but imagine what a correction rampage would do
to Judith Viorst's "If I Were In Charge of the World" or the classic
"Flowers for Algernon".
Best,
Chancey

A lot of kids books don't have page breaks.
Smile, but indeed, it is a great book. We also have another child author's
book in the collection, check out
Me and My Veggies by Isaac Witlash SP, smile, I think that is how you spell
his last name, he was eight I think when he wrote that book and is worth the
read particularly if you don't like peas or Brussels sprouts. smile.
I have one more of these to submit, but need to clean it up and the dog is staring at me demanding in no uncertain terms, that I am to get off this computer. I agree, so this is enough for me for today, well for now.
Smile.

Oh, I did enjoy it! It is a darling story and there are no misspelled words. I will fix Akron on the synopsis when I upload it.
The one thing I did not get was page numbers. There are page breaks and of
course blank pages. Will the automated equipment number the pages or what
should I do about that? I wonder what the author is doing now, as he would
be all grown up. <smile>

The answer is yes to the changing misspelled words, as this book was published.
And I was guessing at the city name, smile.
Hope you enjoy it though, It sounded funny when my librarian and I found it
in the library so we decided to give it a try. and well, it is quite cute.

Shelley,
Having raised two very normal mischievous boys I couldn't resist this one.
Ackron is wrong, should be Akron. I know this because Ohio is where I lived
for most of my childhood. In the case of a child author, do we change
misspelled words if there are any? I would say yes, but want to know for
sure.
