Looking with the Eyes of a Bookmaker—#2

Here’s the transformation—so far—of the postcard pictured in last Thursday’s post:
dreaming-racoon-1.jpgdreaming-racoon-2.jpg

1 The postcard’s now a book cover.

2 It’s got a new title, cut out with fancy-edged scissors.

3 In place of the info originally above the raccoon’s head there’s a cut-out thought balloon.

4 And behind the thought balloon are pictures of a place the raccoon would like to visit (snow-capped mountains) and something he’d like to eat (strawberries).

NOTE: This post is one in an irregular series about training your eye to see opportunities for bookmaking, opportunities that may be triggered both by “stuff” that catches your eye and by books that kids read. I’ve tagged these posts with the “From Idea to Book” category, and you can get a list of all such posts to date by clicking here.
