You probably know how this goes. Every Monday I redo the cover of a Newbery-winning book. I’m starting at the start and working my way up to the modern day. Up this week… 1956: Carry On, Mr. Bowditch by Jean Lee Latham Original Cover: My Redo: Side by Side: Verdict:Mine might be a little plain, […]
Maurice Sendak is the illustrator of our Newbery cover this week. While I’m tempted to throw in the towel, eat some Chex Mix, and skip this one on account of the fact that Maurice Sendak doesn’t need some punk “updating” his cover, the Chex Mix just ran out. So… 1955: The Wheel on the School […]
