This weeks theme: A cover featuring a wolf or wolves
My Choice: Julie of the Wolves
Covers:
Harper & Row 2005 | Scholastic US 1985 | Harper & Row 1973 | Dtv 2000
Turtleback Books 2003 | Open Road Media YA 2011 | Recorded Books, Inc. 1993 | Sauerländer 1987
Mondadori 1996 | Alfaguara Infantil 2006 | Salani 2013 | Librairie générale française 1983

When I saw the topic I immediately thought of Julie of the Wolves! I think I read this in Middle School and I remember loving it! I still own my copy from school, I have the Harper & Row 2005 edition!
Least Favorites:
Jenny De Jonge Amsterdam 1994 | İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları 2003 | Bokklubbens Barn 1996
On the Amsterdam cover, the wolf looks like a fox. On the Yayinlari cover, Julie looks like a porcupine, and the Bokklubbens cover is just bad!
Favorites:
Harper & Row 2005 | Harper & Row 1973 | Open Road Media YA 2011 | Librairie générale française 1983
I like a lot of these covers but I didn’t love any of them. The Harper & Row 2005 is the one I own so I am partial to it. I like the art work on Harper & Row 1973 but I am not a huge fan of the green. I like the simplicity of the Open Road Media YA 2011 but it doesn’t really capture the story. I love the picture on Librairie générale française 1983 but the title font is awful.
Winner:
Despite the awful font, this is my favorite this week. I love that she is hugging one of the wolves and the little wolf pup is in the front. On most of the covers Julie and the Wolves are separate and not interacting, so I think that is why this cover sticks out for me!
My favorite is Julie dei Lupi 😉

My favorite is the Harper and Row 2005 one, but mostly because that’s the one I read as a kid, haha.

I like your choice for the same reason but for some reason the Harper & Row 1973 | Open Road Media YA 2011 really stood out for me. On balance I probably like the H&R 73 the best.

I probably would agree with your choice if I’d read the book and ya the font isn’t the nicest. I never heard of Julie of the Wolves nor do I know what it’s about but I too like Harper & Row 2005 and I also like Sauerländer 1987 Have a great day!

H&R 2005 is the one I read! I don’t remember much about this book but it was a required reading in school and I liked it a lot!

This was one of my childhood favorites! What a great selection for this week’s theme! I think my favorite is the Open Road Media one with the silhouette of the wolf’s head on the red background. I’m partial to silhouettes though. 🙂 I hope you have a great weekend!

This is so cool! I agree with your favorite four! I really like them, but I think the solid red with the wolf head shape and nice font would take the cake for me! 🙂
