The wrong cover is shown for the HC edition of Skinny Legs and All, ISBN 0553057758. That is the cover of the Mass Market PB.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

If you enlarge the cover that is shown on that edition, you can see the Bantam Paperback emblem on the left side along with the PB prices, $5.99 in US, $6.99 in Canada.

This is the actual cover of the First Edition HC as scanned from my own copy.

I think the issue is that Amazon incorrectly lists this ISBN as Paperback (with the incorrect PB cover).
Looking at AbeBooks there are currently 104 HC and 43 PB editions available, but...
Going through PB listings for this ISBN the cover is either a stock photo (from Amazon) or a cover that is clearly a Hardback (e.g. https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/Bo... and https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/Bo...)

I will change the cover with some explanation behind it.
