SESSION TASK 7 - BOOK COVER

CINDERELLA - A LIFT-THE-FLAP FAIRY TALE by Nick Sharratt and Stephen Tucker
What attracted me?
 - Bright colours
 - Hand written title
 - Simple images
 - Additional features: it is colour coded ( other of the same series do have varied colours on the spine), CD, and lift-flap
Does it work?
I think it does -the title and the image of  a poor girl, pumpkin does portray the story

Lift-the-flap Fairy Tales: Cinderella - 9780230736122

WINSTORN THE BOOK WOLF by Marni McGee and Ian Beck
What attracted me to it?
 - Shiny, handwritten typeface.                                                           
 - cut-out front page that reveals the wolf itself.
 - the back cover portray blurb in a form of ripped out page and picture of the wolf who shreds it to bits. Which in a way it tells you what the book is about.
Does it work??
The book looks appealing to both gender, and what makes it different is the cut out . 

           


CAT, YOU BETTER COME HOME by Garrison Keillor
What attracted me to it?
The image! very powerful image of the cat with very bright eyes, who makes me want to open the book and see what 's in it.
The tittle of the book is very interesting: true font and scratched inside font - just like the cat would do.
Bright colour. Visual works!
Does it work?
Definitely, Very inspiring! and whats more the blurb is not needed
