1933: Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze by Elizabeth Foreman Lewis

Original Cover:

My Redo:

Side by Side:

Verdict: Hmm, I like the bold colors of the redo, but overall I’m not a huge fan this time out. What do you think?

2. Covering the Newbery (#10): The Cat Who Went to Heaven

The cover redo-a-thon continues. Starting at the beginning and working my way up to today, I’m giving every Newbery-winning book a cover makeover. On to our current candidate…

1931: The Cat Who Went to Heaven by Elizabeth Coatsworth

Original Cover:

My Redo:

Side by Side:

Verdict: I don’t mind this one too much. Cat could be a bit bigger, I think. Your opinions?

3. Covering the Newbery (#9): Hitty, Her First Hundred Years

In the grand tradition of “oh, why not” I am attempting to recover every Newbery-winning book from 1922 to the present. Today, we begin the 1930s…

1930: Hitty, Her First Hundred Years by Rachel Field

Original Cover:

My Redo:

Side by Side:

Verdict: I’m not sure about the kid appeal level of my redo. Too retro?

4. Covering the Newbery (#8): The Trumpeter of Krakow

Every Monday (save for the Mondays where I don’t) I’ll try my hand at giving each and every Newbery Medal-winning book a new cover, beginning from the beginning. Today’s installment of Covering the Newbery bring the 20s to a close. Is it with a bang – or with a whimper? Let’s find out…

1929: The Trumpeter of Krakow by Eric P. Kelly

Early Cover:

My Redo:

Side by Side:

Verdict: Hmm – decent start, but it might be a bit too plain. What do you say?
