Covers By Katie
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 requested forced my own four-year-old daughter Katie to provide me with some of her own cover art artwork and then asked her what she thought the book was about.



This week, Katie gave me her take on the following book:

Add to Goodreads






"I think it's about [Mommy's] wine glass spilling 'cause I can see a little red dripping down there."












Cover Art

Every Other Day as envisioned by Katiebug

Um, well, then.  I'm going to blame that explanation on the fact that she was ready to get back to Carrie Underwood karaoke at Club Katiebug.  =)  Same for her hurried drawing.  :P  Guess this is what I get for picking the book this week.

I've actually read this book, and funny as it might be, I can tell you that Katie's thoughts on the book in no way reflect the actual premise of the book.  I liked this one quite a bit, and I can't wait to read more from this author.  I actually have a couple of her other books on my shelf, including a copy of Nobody.

Have you read this book or do you plan to?  What do you think of Katie's guess at the premise?  

Did your little darling create a work of art based on a book this week? If so, be sure to link up with Sara over at Forever 17 Books.

  1. That was my exact thoughts on the book too Katie! lol love it.

    I have read this book and I did like it very much, even if its not about a glass of wine. I havent read any of her other books, but I have Raised by Wolves on my shelf.

  3. Laughing so hard on Katie's comment. Awesome!

    I liked this book too, though I have to admit I was skipping over some of the more violent parts. I'm a pansy, lol. But I really enjoyed reading it. I liked the whole Raised by Wolves series by her as well.

    1. Yeah, I actually choked on the wine that I was drinking when she said that. :P
