Good luck. It's a terrible market to break into. Most publishers rely on current authors, TV tie-ins and movie tie-ins. Have you ever scanned the shelves of a bookstore? It's scary. There are some great books still (and some good publishers), but they're becoming fewer and fewer.
You should check out www.BigDifBooks.com. It's a new concept. Books are downloadable. Can be viewed in a page-flipping program on-screen or printed out. And a lot of them are free and the ones that aren't are very inexpensive. PLUS, here's the cool thing: They're actually looking for submissions. And kids can submit books too. I've e-mailed someone there and will be submitting my own kids book (when I'm finished ... ) ... which, in all honesty, is part of the reason for my responding here. I want people to see my book when it goes up ...

The best way to get a children's book published is to go through an agent. An agent will represent the author and get the author in contact with publishing agencies. If the agency likes the story, then the agency will publish it under their company name.

Miles to Go. Published in 2010.
his first book was go sex your mother how bout them apples
I have heard that the book will be published and in book stores by the end of May.
Definitely! No matter how old you are, if you have an idea for a story, get it out there! A good strategy for getting it published might be to talk to an accomplished Author, get tips on how they got their first book published, and go from there. By all means, get out there, get writing, and get a career out of it!
His first published book was the autobiography "And Let the Credit Go", but it wasn't the first book he wrote.
i think so as her favourate book is 'you are special' by Mat Lucado'. A christian childrens book about how God made everyone special and that if we go to him we will know that. :)
Oh the Places You'll Go published in 1990 was his last book.
Walter Dean Myers' first children's book was published by Viking Press in 1968. The book, titled "Where Does the Day Go?" was well received for its exploration of a child's bedtime routine and was praised for its engaging storytelling and beautiful illustrations.
