The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

5.1 - Boo! It's Halloween time! Read a book with a pumpkin, black cat (domesticated), bat (the animal), witch's hat, candy, skull, or skeleton on the cover. Required: Include the cover or a link to the cover in your post. Examples:

Approved:

bubble gum = candy


partially exposed skeleton or skulls/parts of skeletons


Animal skeletons/skulls/bones:

Sorry, these won't work:
black cats should be domesticated cats not large cats (i.e., tigers, panthers, etc.)

Can I use ? It's not very clear, but the horse's flesh is melting off its skull, so the skull is partially exposed.

Wow, that's really small on GRs ;o). But I found a great picture of it on Amazon. It definitely works. Just mention when you post that the book was approved in the task help thread so Sandy doesn't have to hunt it down.

It's the sequel to one of the Fall Group Reads...The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

Would work for candy seeing as she is blowing bubble gum?

Yes, I'd consider bubble gum a candy.

Judy wrote: "Would either of these work for a skull? "

Either one of them would work for skull.

Yay thanks Kristi!

What about ? IS that enough bone on the face?

Yes, that works. Ick ;-)...

That guy/zombie/whatever he is in the front looks like a skull to me. It'll work.

How about this one:



It's spooky looking, but I'm not sure if it qualifies as a skeleton or scull. Thanks!

No, sorry, that one just looks like a face so it won't fit.

Thanks - I have some others in mind.

Does the black cat have to be a domesticated cat or will a black tiger/panther etc work?

No, it needs to be domesticated. Sorry!

Ok, would this work for a skull? I know it's not exact, but I believe it is meant to double as a skull.

Is this a good enough skull?

Looks like a skull to me (neat effect ;-)). It works.

Sue T wrote: "Is this a good enough skull? "

Yes, that works. But it's hard to see. Please point it out when you post.

Thanks, Kristi.

Are the skulls and skeletons limited to human remains? Or would an animal skull work?

Animal bones work, too.

Thanks

Would this one work?

Aneeqah wrote: "Would this one work? "

It would ;-).

Is this ok for skull?

Amanda wrote: "Is this ok for skull? "

Yes, that works.

Red liquorice on cover for candy?

That works. Enjoy!

Would this work? Popcorn on cover as well as goul faces-

Fran wrote: "Would this work? Popcorn on cover as well as goul faces- "

Popcorn won't work, but the kid in the 3rd row appears to be eating a candy bar and that fits! Just point the candy bar out when you post. It's easy to miss.

Thanks Kristi! I didn't even see the candy bar- yay!
