Since a lot of kids have a snow day today, I am running a special, one-day contest.
In yesterday’s blog post, a Pennsylvania fifth-grade class did a great poll about kids’ favorite dogs. They used the cover of my book DOGS in their chart - the version that is in many of your school libraries, originally published in 2004.
In 2009, my publisher decided to do a new jacket for DOGS. If you buy it today, it looks completely different.
They had a very specific reason to do this new cover. Think about what year it was, and think about what kind of dog it is.
The first person who can tell me the reason why HarperCollins changed the photograph on the cover of my DOGS book will win a personally autographed copy of the book of your choice - the original cover, or the new cover!

GOOD LUCK, AND MAY THE BEST DOG LOVER WIN!
