Promoting this at local elementary schools this summer reading season. The kids are actually really responding to the cover, and to the discussion I initiate about book cover and graphic design. And it's been asked for often by the kids who've come into the library.
Although the design is (of course) engaging and lovely, it does seem a little odd as a kids' piece. All of the book cover examples are of adult books (most of them not particularly famous books). And it seems to be written at the sophistication level of the common middle schooler, but all of the photographs of the intended audience are of 8-10 year olds. Tricky.
But the kids seem to get it, so yay.
I love educating kids on marketing manipulation and making them more advertisement savvy. AND giving them the tools to make their voices HEARD.
