There were also comments by local people about the story. The back cover had the author’s photo and bio. It was a cute story, and the author and publisher had obviously gone to a good deal of trouble to produce the book: it was hard cover with lots of colour illustrations. The story featured some of the pranks the animal got up to, as well as what its human carers learned in the process. The book was about a baby animal which is born in winter and is brought into the family house and raised until it is old enough to join other animals of the same kind. (What follows could be considered a review.) I can’t tell you the title of the book or the author’s name because Readers’ Favorite has a (quite sensible) rule that only they can post reviews on the internet. I bought it on .uk it arrived, and I read it twice. When I read, I much prefer to be holding a hard copy book, rather than a screen, so I thought, what the heck, I’ll review the children’s book. When I queried the website whether there really was only one hard copy book available, I was told that for the time being, that was the case, because they were prioritising books which had been entered in the contest. I clicked in that button an one (1) book appeared on my screen: it was a childrens’ book. I finally noticed a button labelled ‘Find a Hard Copy Book’. When I began to search for a book on the Readers’ Favorite site, they all seemed to be ebooks. I thought I would select a book, and buy it on .uk.

I could choose which book I wanted to review, and Readers’ Favorite would send the book to me (as long as I lived in the States). I sent a book in to be reviewed, and one of the conditions was that I would review someone else’s book. I had signed up with the Readers’ Favorite website to a contest. Last week, I found myself in a position where I was reviewing a child’s book.
