That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hi.
I'm just dropping in from out of the blue without lurking to learn the way of the thread, so let me apologize right now in case I am being unspeakably rude.
I have this children's story that I think I want to try to shop around to agents. If someone could look it over and point out what's wrong with it, I'd really appreciate it.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Hmm just came up with something out of no-where that fits this perfectly, but is fan fiction. Off to Buffista Fic 2 I guess..

I'm getting the pig!
I would love to take a look at it, -t. Profile addy is good.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
-t, I'm useless on children's stuff, alas. I can't tell good from bad or saleable from non-saleable; it's a foreign language to me, alas.

Thanks, Nicole, insent. It's in Word, let me know if some other format is better.
That's too bad, Deb. For me, I mean, I would have loved to benefit from your insight.

-t, I just wish I had some kind of handle on it. I don't, though. Fact is, I suck at differentiating.

Word is perfect, -t. I'll read it when I get home later tonight.

Because books.
-t, what kind of story is it? Picture book? Chapter book for learning-to-readers? I'd love to look at it, but I'm more about young adult stuff than anything else (at least writing-wise).
Then again, I know what I like when I read to my kids. If you want to send it to my profile address, I can try to take a look this weekend.

Insent, AmyLiz.
It's a picture book, though I am not and do not have an illustrator. I see it as along the lines of The Quiltmakers Giftfor audience, if that adds any information.
Oh, and it's full on fairy tale, starts with "Once upon a time", ends with "happily ever after", the whole nine yards.
