Judging a Book By Its Cover #18: A Kid's Perspective on Pulse by Patrick Carman

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:

"It's about the tree going up above the houses and somebody saw it and maybe said it was weird 'cause how did a tree get up in the air?"

Pulse as envisioned by Katiebug

Love her thoughts on the book.  Based on the reviews I've seen, her summary might be better than the book itself.  I don't know...the cover is stunning and the premise sounded good, but that many people can't be wrong, right?

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.
