Picture Book Puzzler: Skies of Blue

May 2nd, 2011 by Eliza Eliza

What a gorgeous spring day! The sky is so clear and the blue so vivid against the budding greens of the leaves of the trees in The Carle’s orchard. I’ve been inspired to pull favorite picture books with blue covers off the shelf and look at the different ways each talented artist utilizes the color. So many unique artistic styles and shades of blue!

For this puzzler, I’ve captured just a portion of each book cover. Can you identify the book? Put your guesses in the comments below and I’ll be back on Friday with the answers. Here’s hoping you all are having nice blue skies today!
