Gallery: These 2017 Picture Books Have Secrets

October 9, 2017 by Travis Jonker   3 comments

While there will be no official Undies awarded this year (they may very well make a triumphant return next year), I still wanted to highlight the best picture book case covers of 2017. Any to add to this gallery? Email me a photo at scopenotes [at] gmail [dot] com.
