Have You Seen My Cat? by Eric Carle
White background with the title and authors name written across the top of the cover in thin black text. Beneath this text are three cats - one large grey cat, one orange stripey tabby cat sat up but facing away from the reader looking at the grey cat behind, and next to the tabby is an orange, white and grey cat facing the reader.
Herbert and Harry by Pamela Allen
Front cover of the picture book shows a red wooden rowing boat in the ocean, with two brothers in the boat working together to pull a fishing net from the ocean.
Blue and Other Colours with Henri Matisse
White background with blue lettering for “Blue & Other” across the top, “colours” written in large bright multicoloured letters across the page and “with Henri Matisse” written in smaller black lettering. Beneath the title is a multicoloured Matisse print.
Viva Frida
Image is of the book’s front cover. The background fades from very pale green at the top to dark green at the bottom of the cover. The word VIVA is written in bright pink upper case letters surrounded by bright pink flowers. In the middle of the cover a doll is dressed to look like Frida Kahlo, with flowers on her head, a red necklace, yellow blouse with black short sleeves, and a full black skirt. She is holding paintbrushes and the word Frida is painted across her skirt in blue letters.
My Art Book of Love by Shana Gozansky
Image shows front cover of the book. The background is yellow and taking up the middle and top two thirds is a bold red love heart balancing on a white shape that looks like a basket hanging below a love heart shaped hot air balloon. On the white basket the title of the book is written in red capital letters, with the last word of the title - LOVE - printed in larger letters below the other words of the title.
