I have to sit by a certain little boy at naptime and it is the farthest spot from the window. On cloudy days it is too dark to read a story from a book, so I read from my iPad. I read through the Storybook Bible and needed something else, so I cheaped out and downloaded a free e-book from Amazon. It is a volume of fairy tales. Some are a little gruesome for the preschool set, so I’ve only read Rumpelstiltskin and the Frog Prince. Today I kept stopping and shaking my head.
Good. Freakin’. Grief. I know that is a free book, so that means it’s probably self-published, but don’t you have to get something edited before you do that?
I feel bad being upset because the author is a little old grandma in the UK, but it’s just so weird. The reviews on Amazon were so complimentary, I left a poor review. I don’t think I was mean, but I questioned the editing.
There. I’m letting it go.
