“A little soil to make it grow”
This weeks theme: A cover featuring seeds/spores.
My Choice: Nim’s Island
(I googled it and coconuts are a seeds!!)
Source: Science ABC
Covers:
Yearling 2002 | Yearling 2008 | Puffin 1999
Knopf 2001 | Blackstone Audiobooks 2008 | Luis Vives 2008
Puffin 2008 | Edelvives 2014 | Zielona Sowa 2008
My Favorite:
This is probably an unpopular choice because a lot of people don’t like movie covers, but I just love how much spunk the little girl has, and its really the only cover that captures the adventure!
Which one is your favorite? Do you agree with my choice?
I like the little girl as well, it reminds me of myself when I was little. I would go against the norm!! In the end, I am a very courageous woman. I lost mom when I was five, sent to boarding schools in HS, got married to an alcoholic, had a baby, went to AA, got myself cleaned up, quit drinking, divorced my man, was a single mom working four jobs for eleven years. Now my girl is out of the house, I have been in college for ten years and one more year to get my MBA in HRM. That is a strong person right?!!

It was a tough one this week, but hey that’s right, botanically speaking a coconut is just one big seed! Gotta go with your winner as my favorite too.

Ooh Nim’s Island- I think I saw that one! Cute movie. I think I like the first cover a lot, it looks kinda whimsical and I love the tropical feeling, but I also like the one you picked. It’s the most familiar because of the movie, and doesn’t look as middle grade-ish, maybe? the Luis Vives 2008 cover is good though too.

I love the movie 😀 I saw it before I read the book! And as far as whimsical I like Knopf 2001 better than the first one, but I like the first one too. And the book is definitely middle grade so it makes sense the covers are too.

Ok the teacher in me has to ask you- what age group do you think this book and movie would be good for?

It has been a loooong time since I have seen it or read it, but I would think it would be right for older elementary kids to younger middle school kids? (Grades 5-8)
