Scholastic has a student contest that caught my attention. From the source:

Mark Teague, illustrator of the How Do Dinosaurs series, uses his imagination to help dinosaurs learn about lots of important things—how to say good night, play with friends, go to school, even to say “I love youâ€!
Now It’s Your Students’ Turn! Create a book cover by filling in the blank: How Do Dinosaurs __________? Then draw the cover you imagine!
1 Grand-Prize Winner will receive a classroom visit from Mark Teague!
10 Runners-Up will receive a 10-book Mark Teague library!
Click here for more information. I could see students getting into this one. Personally, I’d like to see a How Do Dinosaurs Prevent Their Own Extinction cover. A lot of directions you could go with that one.
