Children's Book Publishing Company

There are book publishing companies out there that specialize in children's book publishing. Do they call themselves a "children's book publishing company"? Usually not. They are a book publishing company that also happens to do children's books.
Here is what you need to do to locate the right company to publish your children's book. First, go online and create a list for yourself of all the possible companies that are capable of doing the work. That's a start.
Then contact each one of the book publishing companies and ask them to send you some copies of the previous children's books they have done. This will give you an idea of the quality of their work.
Separate all the books you get into two categories. Book publishers that you would consider and a separate pile for those you would NOT consider. When you're done, take a look at the first pile. Contact each of those firms and ask them for a proposal.
Make sure that you request a written proposal. This will get the book publishers to "put it in writing" but also to allow you for direct comparisons between the companies with the documents in front of you.
After comparing all of the key elements, you're ready to make a decision. Make sure that you are professional and polite to those companies who you decide NOT to use. You may use that publisher in the future.
Your first order for your books should be LOWER than what you THINK you should order. It''s always better to have to go back to your printer for another print run than to have a whole bunch of unsold books in your garage, or worse yet at a storage facility that you are paying for on a monthly basis.
When you take delivery of your books, check a few of the boxes at random. Examine the quality of the book printing they did. If you're happy, great. If you're not, contact that specific children's book publishing company.
There you have it!
