MORE 'NEWBERY' POSTS
How’s this sound? New Monday, new cover, Newbery. Do I have a slogan there? We can put that discussion on the back burner for a minute and take a look at the latest entry in the Covering the Newbery series… 1952: Ginger Pye by Eleanor Estes Original Cover: My Redo: Side by Side: Verdict: I […]
Every Newbery-winning book gets a new cover, one week at a time. Ladies and gentlemen, the 50s have arrived… 1950: The Door in the Wall by Marguerite de Angeli Original Cover: My Redo: Side by Side: Verdict: Hard to pull off the “inanimate object cover”, especially for kids.

Redoing every Newbery winner one cover at a time… 1949: King of the Wind by Marguerite Henry; illustrated by Wesley Dennis Original Cover: My Redo: Verdict: The multiple photos thing isn’t the most original concept on the block, but I think it works pretty well here.

Most of the older Newbery-winning covers are in need of an update, but I’m not so sure about today’s candidate needs much help… 1948: The Twenty-One Balloons by William Pène du Bois My Redo: Side by Side: Verdict: Yep, it’s pretty tough to beat the original here.

Today is the latter, with a nice cover illustration by Robert Lawson (he who illustrated Ferdinand the Bull, Mr. Popper’s Penguins, and […]
After a few weeks with nary a Newbery recoverification to be seen, it’s back to the design grindstone (designstone?) today with… 1942: The Matchlock Gun by Walter D. Edmonds Early Cover: My Redo: Side by Side: Verdict: My redo brings things up to date a bit, but as I know nothing about matchlock guns, I’m […]
Covering the Newbery: redoing every Newbery-winning cover since, oh I don’t know, a few months ago. 1941: Call it Courage by Armstrong Sperry Early Cover: My Redo: Side by Side: Verdict: Brighter, but not a huge success.
