Okay, so I totally stole this idea from Sara at Forever 17 Books, who got the idea from an article on Babble called Judging a Book by Its Cover: A 6-year-old Guesses What Classic Novels Are All About. I just discovered her lovely segment, and I immediately
This week, Katie picked one of my favorite 2012 reads to discuss and recreate:
According to Katie: "I think it's about not going in a gate...that's what I think it's gonna be about."

Man, is my kid smart or what? :P There is a gate involved, yes, but it's about so much more than that. If you'd like, you can check out my review, where I gush and try to refrain from fan-girling this book, unsuccessfully.
We're taking suggestions for next week's post, if you're interested. We tend to, ahem, disagree on which cover she'll do each week. (I cannot imagine how bad things are gonna get when she's a teenager. *sigh*)
FYI: She asked me to trace over the "lellow" letters because she didn't make them dark enough. In case you thought I helped or something. =)
This is such a cute idea!! You should do Divergent next week! Can't wait to see what you decide to do next time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion, Kristin! I'll definitely tell Katie, but ultimately, it's up to her. :)
Deletehey, katie, aunt mindy thinks it's about a gate too! ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, you're both sorta right. :)
DeleteShe did a great job tackling such a hard cover! Mine is starting to get real picky on which covers he'll do too. lol
ReplyDeleteI love this cover, so I'm glad she chose it, but it was probably the 5th choice she was given. She would pick the hardest one...her obstinacy reminds me of someone I know. :P
DeleteI love the frankness of kids... and what a great drawing!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love it... "I think it's about not going in a gate." Too cute!! I can't wait til my son is oldest enough to do this!! :)
ReplyDeleteBTW I've been meaning to ask you... what do you think of your Kindle Paperwhite? I think my husband may be getting me one for Christmas... I just have a hunch. ;) I have an ipad 3 which I love to pieces and read my ebooks on, but sometimes it's extremely heavy to carry to work along with my computer and everything else... so I was just looking for a light-weight alternative for those days. Do you love it?
DeleteAnother question... right now when authors send me ebooks in an email, I just click on it in my ipad and it asks me which app I want to open it in, i.e. Kindle, iBooks, etc. How do you get books that are emailed to you on your Kindle? Is it all done through Amazon.com?
Thanks! :)
I can't wait either...Sara's turning this into a real meme, so as soon as your lil guy is ready, join us! :)
DeleteI'll respond by email to your other comment. =)
Do Hush Hush!!!! I'm curious what she will think of Patch falling. Probably will guess it. I haven't read this book so I didn't know there was actually a gate in the book! LOL Great post!
ReplyDeleteLove this! And I totally think she's spot on, though I haven't read this one yet so what do I know? xD
