Judging a Book By Its Cover #5: A Kid's Perspective on Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor

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 picked another one of my favorite 2012 reads to discuss and recreate:

Katie's interpretation of the book based on the cover:  "I think it's about vampires because vampires have gray lips and the girl has gray lips."

Cover Art by Katie:

Days of Blood & Starlight as envisioned by Katie

Okay, so 1) we already knew my kid had a weird fascination with vampires after this post, so I don't think any further explanation is needed there, and 2) even though she picked this cover and I asked her to rethink that because of possible difficulties, she insisted.  However, the Christmas lights and cartoons are just proving to be too big of a distraction for her these days, and she was admittedly working at less than 100% on the task at hand.  =)  Also, she's four.  And she hasn't quite figured out which hand is dominant yet.  We're actually kind of hoping she's ambidextrous since she still uses both hands equally.  :D

So, what do you think of Katie's rendition?  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.
