How do illustrations like this happen? In my experience, people who can’t draw are very aware of their lack of skill or talent and would never attempt a book cover like this. Who are these people that think they can when they can’t?!?! I despair.
Well, since Rumpel’s a troll, I guess it makes sense his baby would look like the spawn of troll. I just don’t know why anyone would put such things on a book cover and think it’s even remotely adequate. Bonnie, I’m looking at you!

Too late!

Big-ass HAND puppets.
How big is that sea shell you just stuffed in your dress as a shoulder pad.
Euwwwwww!
Well, I never read this part of the fairy tale when I was a kid. Or now…
Ha, I was sent a free copy of this book to review on my blog, which I just did: http://www.picturebooksreview.com/2014/06/rumpelstiltskins-child-2014.html
The interior art is much better, and I posted several examples in my review. Check them out.
