I think GR is being goofy - I can't pull up a picture of this cover right now. However, if it has a map on the cover, it works. Keep in mind the childrens book rules, since this is a childrens book.

Thanks,
I verified via ARBookfinder and it looks ok. I'll recheck and verify before slotting it though. There is a map on the cover, but it's sort of stylized, so I wanted to check.

unfortunately, I looked in the Feedback thread, and it appears that GR is in fact being goofy and that links/pictures are not working correctly much of the time.

yep, when I go to Amazon and enlarge it, can see the map. Be sure to note the approval if/when you post, so I don't have to check again!
