Theme 1: Of Analyzing Cover Art

This week's theme is Cover Art.  Why was it chosen? What does it show? What is its significance to the book? And so on.
Since I am currently reading two books, I'll keep it simple and analyze my favorite.


This is the cover art for Rakkety Tam.  I think the artwork does a very good job at giving you a little prelude to the story without giving anything away.  It introduces you to two of the main characters, keeping the bad one in shadow and showing the good as a hero.  It also includes the sword of Martin the Warrior, which is an improtant prop in all of the Redwall tales.  In all, I think the picture leaves you with a want to open the book. Will the brave squirrel triumph over his mysterious enemy?  You'll have to read to find out.

Total Time Read: 5 hours
