I had gotten a book for the niecelings, a sweet story about a little girl who wants to be just like her sister. This is so true to their life right now, Evangeline copying Angelique, I knew I had to get it.

And out of two comments on Amazon, one is about "bad grammar".

This book was given to my son as a text book and I had to correct the grammar and incomplete sentences before I could let him read it. The title shoud be "Copy Kyla". The page that starts "Got me some..." should read "I have..." The pages are not numbered. Only two pages are free of grammatical errors. I gave one star for good illustrations and one star for the positive family life and small town atmosphere of the book.

*eyeroll*

Instead of noticing that the little girl talks like, well, a little girl (cheers for accuracy), we get "Gee, nothing matters but the form", missing the point entirely, of course.

I just don't get it, I really don't.
