The Cutest Contest Entry So Far

Waiting to hear from readers out there! Click HERE for contest details.

Check out this "review"!

Dear Tzipi Caton,

I am so mad at you. My mother keeps ignoring me. She is reading this book and not paying any attention to me. So not fair! So don't write any more books, unless they are children's books. My mother says I am not old enough to read this one yet, maybe when I am bigger. Even though I am seven years old and I read on a fourth grade level. So you could write one for like fifth graders, that would be good. And when my mother finally came down to the kitchen, she still wasn't listening to me, so I said "I can tell, you're THINKING about INVISIBLE ME!" And then we both started laughing cuz she said I was right!

So to make me feel better, she said I could tell you how I am feeling...she said you might have more time to listen than she does right now.

Sincerely,
Chaya

Yeh. My mother also wouldnt let me read it although I'm much older and have been reading novels since first grade. Maybe you can do something for teenagers next time?

Chaya's mother said...

Of course it's real and really cute. I didn't know I have such an insightful daughter...while she had a bit of help with the wording, yes, this REALLY happened and we cracked up when she told me I was 'thinking' still, ie: STILL not paying her the right attention! I am not a neglectful mother b'h, she'll have me back (as soon as I'm done the book..) but maybe I'll get to read in peace now that she got a kick out of seeing her name in print! And Tzipi, thanks for acknowledging an email from the younger ranks!

Hey Birdies- WHAT?!?!!? Why is my mind pulling a blank about you guys??? Give me a hint- am I really losing my mind???

Here- fax to 718-887-0344 Just write ATTN TZIPI at the top so that my husband doesn't feed it to the birds... ;-)

J.A.P. said...

Ooooh Birdies! NOW I know who you are! Sure send me the story! But do a review too! Cos the review gets a good prize if it wins! The story will probably just make me and some other people laugh and remember why we don't miss high school :-)
