Will an elephant tusk
work for teeth?
Coralie wrote: "Will an elephant tusk work for teeth?"Generally, I'd say yes but this was really hard to see. I'd prefer something more obvious on the cover, Coralie. This was more a silhouette blended into the yellow background

I'd like something more obvious than this too but I'm finding this task even harder than your last one.
oh really? the cover task?See if any books in these lists appeal (just check the book though as not all qualify)

Thank you. that did help. I always have trouble with cover tasks, partly because I rely heavily on library books and partly because I just don't seem to read the sort of books that suit cover tasks.
When I got a chance to create a task for this season, I deliberately avoided cover tasks, because they are sometimes a pain to adjudicate!

all good to go, Judy
Can you see the bare foot in this one? It is difficult via the new GR page, but when I copied & pasted to a word document so I could enlarge the cover photo, I could see a bare foot on the woman in the left chair.
lol I can see it on the GR page, Brooke, you're good to go
Thanks, Tien!! (I must need new glasses. LOL)
Brooke wrote: "Thanks, Tien!! (I must need new glasses. LOL)"Me too Brooke. I couldn't see the teeth on any of the pictures above, except for Mr Rogers and the Sea Women.
On option 3, want to confirm that plurals are NOT included. So it has to be boot or shoes, not boots or shoes. Yes?
Literal translations will work for option 3 right?Coat = jas
So I would like to read: Het meisje in de rode jas
For Option 3, does the word in the title have to be using the clothing meaning?For example, I see "top" and "train" on the list. So would The Tale of Hill Top Farm or The Last Train to London work even though they aren't referring to a top like a shirt or a train like on a bridal dress?
Apologies all, we were away for the long Easter weekend. I'll respond on them now

yes, that's fine too.
As the image is not quite so clear on GR, please can you confirm if this will count for barefeet - the book is about a barefoot runner & the photo shows her running in her bare feet (the black round her ankles is the bottom of her leggings & she has a flower/swirly tattoo on the top of her right foot)The image here on GR is not so clear but my paperback clearly shows toes - it feels like the perfect book for option 1!

I know, I know... so last minute. But is this acceptable for teeth?
