“Me and you will be partners.”

And then:

"Then Miss Stephanie says that me and Addie Jokobeck will be doing the country of France."

And then two different characters:

“Only me and Antonio say it like this—Meh-i-co. I might even take a trip there with him.”
“Me and Hailey say France like France,” Addie says.
This kind of grammatical mistake is common in reality. Still I really doubt that it adds to the child's reading pleasure to see it in print.
The author and editors probably are not too bright. They did get the book listed but not exactly making a profit.

I applaud the fact that you actually read the book and are concerned.
