It was the Kindle reps who turned me on to the Kindle Kids Book Creator and told me I needed to use that in order to publish my Kindle. Very strange. As I said, after doing the "conversion," using the Kids Book Creator, the file does have a Mobi extension and that's what I upload.

Well, I've never written or published a book. But from the "Look Inside" of your book, it's not a MOBI. It's PDF, as your original was. Fixed-layout, non-reflowable format. And it's only available in apps and on Fire tablets, not on eink Kindles, like Paperwhite. That's also an indicator it's PDF.
As I've no idea how the Kids Book Creator works, I can't explain the .mobi extension. But I suspect your PDF was not actually converted. Because even Amazon cannot convert a PDF to MOBI and have it look like the original. That's basically impossible.
