Covering the Newbery (#19): Daniel Boone

May 16, 2011 By 2 Comments

Every Monday (save for the Mondays when I don’t) I’m attempting to redo the cover of every book that has won the Newbery Award. Bring on the 1940s!

1940: Daniel Boone by James Daugherty

Original Cover:

Daniel Boone Covering the Newbery (#19): Daniel Boone

My Redo:

Cover Daniel Boone 500x738 Covering the Newbery (#19): Daniel Boone

Side by Side:

Daniel Boone 240x300 Covering the Newbery (#19): Daniel Boone

Cover Daniel Boone 203x300 Covering the Newbery (#19): Daniel Boone

Verdict: I don’t mind the tree ring motif, but it’s hard to outdo the original on this one.

    I’ll be interested to see future Monday covers! Fun idea! I do like the sawed tree motif. (I am a Youth Services Librarian in WI.)
