Classic Children's Book Covers
February 18, 2008 These book covers are from before the 1970s
(some from much earlier), and were all designed for a children's
audience. What's interesting to me about these covers is that
they don't look "dumbed down", just because their target audience
may not be able to tell the difference. All are examples of interesting
design married with beautiful illustration.
These covers were all pulled from Children's Book Covers,
by Alan Powers.
