I was thinking that the girl was food for the shark... I won't condone eating shark fin soup!

Me neither -- nor shark steak, for that matter!

Somehow that book cover makes me think more of the Universal Studios "Jaws" tour than the movie itself ... probably because their shark is permanently fixed in just the pose shown on the book cover! Hard to believe it's supposed to be the thing they actually used in the movie ...

HAhaha!

thanks now im hungry!lol

Should covers with live animals be on this list? They're obviously not being presented as food.

Ok, this list is kind of a mess. I'm removing covers with animals (ducks, pigs, etc) that clearly are not being shown as food.

Thanks for cleaning it up! It looks better now, and seems to be staying clean.

I am so happy that people didn't just add a ton of cookbooks! If I were the creator of the list, I would say "no cookbooks" in the description.

A couple of things are repeated: Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dog Days, and The Cake Mix Doctor are both on here twice. Also, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson . . . there's a tree over a girl's face. Neither of these things are food.

And speaking of animals that are not intended to be food in the book: One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish!

I removed one copy of Speak. Either GR changed how lists can be managed, or I've lost my ability to remember how to do so... I can't do more without scrolling through all twelve pages, sorry.
