I'm going to have to ask the mods for a ruling on this one. I was going for a glass or cup with liquid in it rather than a bottle of liquor. I know we've had a similar task in the past, so I will check and get back to you.

Liquor's a beverage and I can see liquid in the bottles so it seems to fit the task to me.

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4462 comments Please take a look at this CHILDREN's book and let me know if it is okay for Option 2 (hat on cover) -or- Option 3 (beverage on cover).

Each Little Bird that Sings by Deborah Wiles

It is 276 pages
Among the genres is "middle grade"
Per amazon.com it is rated for children ages 8-12 / grades 3-6

There are NO illustrations other than an map in the opening section.

My concern is that while it is rated for children OVER age 9 ... it also includes ages 8-9.

Thank you for looking at this.

I looked at the first couple of pages on Amazon. It's fine by me.

Sorry, no. For this task, helmets, crowns, tiaras, and the like don't fit the description of hat I was going for. Sorry.


Eepa *mm loving bookworm* (eepa) | 187 comments Darn. Then I need to shuffle my books. =)

Yes. I had said no "no helmets," but the guy in the background is wearing a cap/hat.

Yes. You might want to tell the mods to enlarge the cover image when you post.

would Parenting Illustrated with Crappy Pictures by Amber Dusick qualify for blue?

Many thanks,

LOL, yes, definitely! --- 45 minutes later --- Paul -- the cover works, but I'm not sure if the book does. If this is mostly drawings, it does NOT work. If the drawings accompany articles - in other words, there are more words - then it does work. Please leave me a note so I know you saw this.


message 81: by Paul (new)

Paul (metshaft) | 106 comments Thanks Chris,

I think is should be ok then. Each chapter starts with a picture - but the book itsself is made up of a collection of blog posts.
