Judging a Carnegie book by its cover - we're split!

More Carnegie 'coverage'. The three of us (M, Little M and Daddy Cool) are split on how we feel about these covers. Some of us love them while others show much less enthusiasm.....What do you think?

The Flask - Nicky Singer

 

 

M: Didn't like picture of a girl's face.

 

Little M: Didn't like the photo either but liked the flask illustration.

 

 

The Traitors - Tom Becker

 

 

M & Little M: Too jumbled, too grey, confusing, looks like stitches

 

Daddy Cool: Liked it. Looks like someone's in prison counting days.

 

 

Dying to Know You - Aidan Chambers

 

 

M: Didn't like the goldfish.

 

Little M & Daddy Cool: Really liked the goldfish.

 

 

 

 The Prince Who Walked With Lions - Elizabeth Laird

 

 

Little M: can't read the text easily; looks Lion Kingey.

 

M: Liked the warm colours and the African setting/influence that reflects the story.

 

 

Itch - Simon Mayo

 

 

M: Quite interesting but didn't like the interactive thing; couldn't see the point of it.

 

Little M & Daddy Cool: Loved the interactive thing.

 

 

All Fall Down - Sally Nicholls

 

 

Daddy Cool: Didn't like the font.

 

M & Little M: Like it.

 

 

This Dark Endeavour - Kenneth Oppel

 

 

M: The colours and the suggested texture around the keyhole were creepy.

 

Little M: It's cool; like the keyhole.

 

The Terrible Thing That Happened To Barnaby Brocket - John Boyne

 

 

Little M & Daddy Cool: Can't read the text; looks all superheroey; too much colour blending.

 

M: Actually, I haven't got any strong views either way on this one.
