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!
“A girl and a boy are watching a program on tv and they’re not sitting on a couch because they don’t have one. There’s bookshelves all around them. The program is Ellen.”
One guess what I was watching at the time Shawn was working on this. lol He was really excited to do this cover, which is awesome because I’m reading it right now. 🙂
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 us know what you think! 🙂

Heh…we’re cover twins this week! Love Shawn’s interpretation. And I love how our kids like to call us out. 🙂

Twinsies! I was wondering if that would happen at some point. lol
Sierra
I love it! And Ellen, yes. What else would they be watching??? I can’t wait to read this book, it looks really interesting 🙂

Aww, I love that he imagined the things to the left and right as bookshelves! I’m not sure what they are. I hadn’t even noticed them before 🙂

I laughed so hard when he said they were watching Ellen. So cute!
I love seeing the two different takes on the same book — did you guys know that you were both choosing the same book?

LOL for Ellen! 😀 I haven’t read the book so he might be right! 🙂
Lauren @ Love is not a triangle
This just made me laugh out loud! I LOVE these features. And I like watching Ellen too. But I prefer to sit down when watching tv. I wonder why these people don’t have a couch?

I pretty much die laughing every time I see these posts. THE PROGRAM IS ELLEN. Awesome!
