no hurry, but does this book work for the cover option/?
It looks to me like the green things suspended from the ceiling are green pepper with some sort of yellow fruit, maybe a lemon underneath the peppers

The # on my book is 9780091925635. I'll find something else to use for this task.

Cacao is the fruit from which chocolate is made of. :)
Andy, your ISBN is on GR but the cover does not match the one you were asking about.

That would be simpler for all concerned. Plus with the number of books we need to read this season, I may not finish anyway.

The librarians can add an alternate cover if you want. Post in the anyone with library status... thread.

Hehehe, yeah, I saw that too. There are some wishful thinkers on that list!
Does this work for the cover option? There appear to be grapes and cherries on the tied plate next to the bottle

An orange is a fruit, so yes, it works.
Mod
"yes indeed.
Mod
tangerine works, but it appears that it only exists in ebook form, so you'll need to get it approved for length.

Thanks Sandy!
- does this work for fruit on the cover?
Mod

Mod

yep - those are vegetables for sure!
Mod
work for this one?"yes, a peach is a fruit.
Thanks! I was concerned because it was a children's book.
Mod
Children's books are allowed for 5, 10 and 15 point tasks.
Would this work for mushrooms?Fifty Shades of Alice in Wonderland
If so, I have already asked for ebook verification for length :)

Sure would.
Will either of these work for the cover option?
Mod
"The "Beck and the Great Berry Battle" does have fruit on the cover, but is a "transition" book.
Transition books -- Sometimes called "early chapter books" for ages 6-9, they bridge the gap between easy readers and chapter books. Written like easy readers in style, transition books have a smaller trim size with black-and-white illustrations every few pages. See "The Kids of the Polk Street School" series by Patricia Reilly Giff (Dell) or the "Stepping Stone Books" published by Random House.
When evaluating a book under this rule, ask yourself, "Who is the intended audience of this book?". If that intended audience is 9 years old or younger, it probably doesn't work for SRC tasks.
This book is labelled under the "stepping stones" imprint, and the Amazon description shows it as being geared to 6-9 year olds.
It will not work for the SRC.
Your second book is okay.

Read a book with the name of a fruit or vegetable in the title/subtitle, or a picture of a fruit or vegetable on the cover. Plurals and possessives are fine for the word in title/subtitle option, but no other variations. REQUIRED: If you choose the cover option, you must include the cover in your post.
