Inspired by an article on Babble called, Judging a Book by Its Cover: A 6-year-old Guesses What Classic Novels Are All About, I have asked my 6 year old what his thoughts are on a few Young Adult covers lying around the house. To take it a step further, I also had him make some cover art!
This week is the Shatter Me Edition!
“Shatter Me is about somebody wanting help because they were lost and couldn’t find their house. They looked for someone to help them find it and explain what it looks like.”
“I think it’s about somebody who is trying to find somebody who is hurt because they fell in the winter time.”
I hope you enjoyed Shawn’s thoughts and artwork this week! Since a couple other blogs have expressed interest in doing something similar, I have decided to add a linky tool, so that you can also check out what they are doing as well! I hope you will give them a look see!
Don’t forget to let me (and Shawn) know what you think! 🙂

Once again your son’s drawing are so amazing! I especially love what he thought Unravel Me was about because I would definitely think that it was set in the winter if I just looked at the cover. 🙂

oh oh I so want to try this on my nieces. Love Shawn’s art and interpretations and is it just me or could his Shatter Me interpretation kind of hold you know in a kind of symbolic Juliette is trying to find a place that could be home that she never had sort of way?

Very interesting theories based on the covers. I always look forward to seeing what Shawn comes up with.

Great drawings. The second one does look like the eye of someone who fell in the snow! LOL

These drawing are perfection! And I love Shawn’s interpretation of each book; metaphorically speaking, I think he’s onto something. 🙂 I can’t wait to get my hands on Unravel Me. I just re-read Shatter Me and now I’m dying!

This is a great one! The eye is so dramatic and is perfect for this 🙂

LOVE his drawings so much. And yes, I love the old Shatter Me cover but I like this new one too.

OMG, these are probably my favorite! I actually had my daughter make me one for Shadowlands but I forgot to take a picture of it 🙁

I LOVE THIS FEATURE. So hilarious, and certainly gives a different perspective on the books we read. Not sure if my 3 yr old is old enough to do this – or if she’d cooperate, but definitely an awesome concept.

I was reading Unravel Me and my 3 year old asked me, “why is there grass coming out of her eye?”
