Errors in children's books bother me because children should be learning correct spelling and punctuation. The errors would certainly confuse them!

I agree completely. I think I'm almost harder on children's books than adult books. Adults can (usually) tell that there's something wrong, but children don't know any different.

It's also annoying to see errors in such a short book!
