I remember quite a few children's books from a while back that were
mis-labeled adult, Shelley submitted them and I validated them, if that's any
help. I don't remember the titles, unfortunately. Possibly Cloudy with a chance
of meatballs was one. Alphabestiary? My Friend Rabbit? Pickles to Pittsburgh?
Sam Bangs and Moonshine?The Amazing Bone. I think it might have been The Three
Litte Pigs. But I think it was earlier books than any of these.
I wondered if some word that I used in described the illustrations triggered
but I couldn't imagine what.
