I'm assuming natural animals like birds and butterflies would work as well as fantasy creatures.

Seeking approval for this one please. The wing, tail feathers and feet are there but the rest of the bird isn't.

I'm sorry, this won't work - the task calls for "a living creature with wings," not just a wing.

Although the birds are tiny, I am assuming this is enough to show a "living creature with wings."



Thank you!

Would Beauty : work? It has a fantasy bird-like creature sitting in the windowsill on the right.

yes, the body and the wing is visible

[Karen Michele]

What do you think of this one? The bird is whole and you can see the head and the wing, but a part of the body is behind the other design on the cover. Enlarging the cover works best for seeing this strange fantasy-type bird.

I'm sorry, but even with enlarging, this does not clearly show a living creature with a wing

[Karen Michele]

I'm going to double check my understanding of living creature since these birds are stylized:
The Plague of Doves
Does this cover work?

that works

[Julia]

Does work? The flag on the right and the tunic that the boy on the left is wearing both have the image of a horse with wings. (Since it's a picture on cloth does it still count as a "living creature"?)

no, sorry, the picture won't work

[Julia]

Would this work? It is very stylized, but I think it is a winged dragon.
Thanks!

that works

Would the flamingo on this cover work?

sorry, no. the task calls for a living creature on the cover - that's a bookend.

Thanks for the quick response, Sandy. With the inclusion of fantasy creatures I wasn't sure how rigid the definition of living was meant to be and appreciate the clarification.

[Aprilleigh]

Will the birds on this cover work?

sure - they're birds and their wings are clearly visible.

[KmarieD, Moderator]

Does an obvious wing mean it needs to be flying or spread out? Would the bird on this cover work?

Would this work as a fantasy winged animal? The wing is clear but part of the creature is off cover.


Thanks!

Thanks!"

I'm sorry, but it's not at all clear that this is a living creature (as opposed to a painting of a part of a creature).

[Jen K]

No problem, thanks!

I presume that a real bird on the cover is ok?
