Children's book by first-time author. Can't track down publisher (maybe vanity press/self-published?). Can't find any substantial reviews or media coverage. No awards. Does not meet WP:BK. — Gwalla | Talk 18:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Author's own website indicates this is not a major release (print on demand was considered as a viable option). While Amazon rankings are necessarily indicative of notability, I'm not impressed by a sales rank around 5,000,000. The link to the CBC story doesn't give the text or audio of the story (although that may change after the broadcast date). The local paper story is weak -- appears to be a small weekly paper. If it's anything like the local weeklies in my area, they'll print these stories more as filler than because they think it's notable.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:28, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Very strong delete. This article is just shy of being blatant advertising for the book series. It certainly fails to assert that it's a notable book. —C.Fred (talk) 21:26, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It doesn't seem to be catalogued by the Library and Archives Canada, or at least it didn't turn up when I used their site's search feature. 23:08, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
