Anyway, I'm quite happy to have had you drop by and point me your mother's way!Greg Pincushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449684160718426340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-67226599626463049792011-08-17T16:17:03.771-07:002011-08-17T16:17:03.771-07:00Why not write to Jackie and ask about it? I don&#...Why not write to Jackie and ask about it? I don't believe there was a "Target audience." She writes about what interests her, and this one found a publisher. It actually sold pretty well, and she's heard from quite a few people who like it very much, thanks. How do I know? She's my mom. http://jacqueline-jackson.com/materials/previouspub.htmGilliannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-45653764672387897012009-12-09T16:42:29.165-08:002009-12-09T16:42:29.165-08:00Perhaps the target audience was The National Allia...Perhaps the target audience was The National Alliance for Chicken's Rights...I found an old book at out local library called Me and My Shadow.

It's not written as non-fiction... and while there's some anthropomorphizing, it's not really a chicken main character we grow to love cuz it's funny or charming or anything. And it's wordy, too, as many PBs were then, I suppose. Anyway, I am sure there were folks who loved it... I'm just not sure who!Greg Pincushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449684160718426340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-73635702281151041692009-12-08T22:27:14.075-08:002009-12-08T22:27:14.075-08:00Who do you think the target audience is?

She became a vegetarian at nine after a trip to Windsor Castle. She hand fed an injured pigeon. Then my grandparent took us to a posh pub and you guessed it...pigeon was on the menu...She's almost fourteen now and hasn't touched meat since then.Sharon K.
