Alfonso the Tortoise Book Sample

Prince Alfonso the tortoise woke up one sunny morning in his small hut in the Land of Garden. Still feeling sleepy, he slowly plodded out of his hut and then yawned.   He felt the sun warm up his face and brown shell. He smiled and said to the world, 'hello world.'   'Hello, Mr Royal Prince,' said a cheeky little worm, who had just popped his head up out of the grass. 'Ooh, hello. I didn't see you there.

There are a number of ways that you can get your books published. The main ways are by sending your book to a publisher or by publishing yourself. There may be other options, although I don't know about them.
