“Ho, Ho, Ho.”
This weeks theme: A seasonal cover.
My Choice: How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Covers:
Random House 1957 | HarperCollins 1997 | HarperCollins 2000 | Pocket Jeunesse 2002
Presse Pocket 2002 | Gottmer 2012 | HarperCollins 2013 | Mondadori 2013
HarperCollins 2016 | Le nouvel Attila 2016 | Random House Books 2017 | Libri 2018
Least Favorites:
Not a big fan of the movie tie in. I love the colors and art of the middle one but the white bar ruins it. The third the Grinch looks to sappy.
Favorites:
Winner:
I like this one slightly better than the original because the picture is the same and you have the spiky circle, but its not as harsh and I like the colors better.
Which is your favorite? Do you agree with my choice? Let me know in the comments!!
Perfectly Tolerable

The black one with the Ginch’s hand holding the ornament? Based on the thumbnails I thought I would like that best, but I wish it was the cartoon hand instead of the movie hand. Merry Christmas!!

I liked that one too but also wished it was more cartoony. 😄

Definitely like your top choices. I also thought the grinch with the heart was too sappy. Lol. Hey, he was mean before he became nice, after all!
LikeLiked by 1 person
Exactly! And it kind of spoils the ending if you show he becomes nice because most of the book he is mean!

A classic! Though I can’t believe how many covers there are. I’m partial to the HarperCollins 2016 myself 😀

I was surprised too! Usually Dr. Seuss books don’t have that many covers.

I think I like the one you picked and the original the best- having a hard time deciding, although the green is more to my liking than the red. 🙂 I like the HarperCollins 2016 one as well- heck that might even be my favorite haha!
Fun covers!

I’ve got to say the Le Grinch one cracks me up for some reason. That one and the HarperCollins 2016 version where his face looks like a turtle are my favorites.

Ugh yeah the Mondadori one has great art, but why’d they put that white bar?? Also the colors don’t feel Christmassy to me. I see there’s another w/ the same art, but somehow it doesn’t look as good lol. I like the 2nd cover best. Same art as the one you chose, but I like the background coloring w/ the white art!

I think the red background is just too bright for the second one with the same art, it just looks weird!
