NEW BOOK COVERS FOR CLOSER LOOK SERIES?

I wondered if I should make new book covers for my Closer Look series. I like the current covers, but maybe they look a bit staid and boring. The typeface is very heavy, and perhaps the green blends in with the pictures too much.

So anyway, I made some new ones, and here they are. I think. I like the curving text and the purple. On the other hand, the photos of the bugs are much smaller. And probably I should use a brighter dragonfly... red, perhaps?

Now what I need is some opinions! Can you help me out with that?

FINALLY RELEASED DRAGONFLIES ARE COOL!

This book, which is the third one in the Take a Closer Look series, has been sitting on my old laptop computer in an *almost completed* state for far too long! But I moved the files to my new laptop and finally downloaded Kindle Kids Creator so I could make the .mobi file and publish it. The paperback is next on my to-do list.

You can find the e-book on Amazon

It will be free to download from May 27 until May 31.

Dragonflies Are Cool is illustrated with real, close-up photographs of dragonflies. It uses short sentences and simple words, so it is suitable for beginner readers and ESL kids. It is ideal for children who like nature or are interested in bugs. It would be a good book to read aloud in a kindergarten class science lesson.

Below are some of the photos included in this book.
