Cover Art

I can't help it...sometimes I buy a second (or third) copy of a book just because it has different cover art that I like just as much as the cover art on the first copy. I especially like books that are illustrated by one of my favorites. I love Ted Lewin's watercolors in a few kids' books that we have, for example. He also illustrated a reprint of Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell, one of my all-time favorite childhood books.

Here are photos of the four copies of Island of the Blue Dolphins that reside in our house.
