And I would like to see more covers illustrated by Kerem Beyit.Mihai A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08534691063946241019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-62375272329017000292009-06-18T23:40:40.122+03:002009-06-18T23:40:40.122+03:00Thanks for the cover review!

I know it's for kids, but come on, the dragon looks like he's choking. And although I'm sure the contract says differently, it seems so horrible to create another cover based on an artist's work -- especially when the result is so bad.<br />http://kerembeyit.deviantart.com/art/The-Dragons-of-Ordinary-Farm-125792664Tolanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02832342924393839793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-51227365919299287322009-06-15T12:58:00.454+03:002009-06-15T12:58:00.454+03:00Haukji, thank you for letting me know.

After reading a really long or complex magic/world book, it's nice to have an easier read. <BR/><BR/>I like the German cover best but they would all be catching my eye.

But, if I was specifically looking for this book for a younger child, I would probably go for one of the others. It all depends on the age group. For a teen, again, the German cover would probably appeal more.tinkandalissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519082764772978297noreply@blogger.com
