Thanks for the advice kids.
I have tried it out on nieces, nephews, and children of friends, and they enjoyed it as well. My son is only three months old, so he hasn't given much input.
So the consensus seems to be that I don't need illustrations to send it to a publisher. Next questions:
1. Can you suggest any publishers I should send it to?
(I live in Ottawa, Ontario, if that makes a difference.)
2. Should I get some kind of a copyright before I send it?
3. If so, how do I go about doing that?
OK, so I'll plead ignorance. Obviously, I have no idea what I'm doing.
Paul.
