Ugh, Edizioni Simple. Italian publisher FAMED for mostly shitty covers on their books across the board. This is just one of their worst ones. http://www.edizionisimple.it/

his P.J’s and is getting ready to stomp
on a starfish?!?

Maybe it’s a banana peel.

At any rate, the art is about 4th grade level. Wonder if the writing is also at that level.

The publisher, Edizioni Simple, is actually known for this kind of art. Can’t comment on the writing, but…I’m sure you get the idea.

I’ll wager the author IS the publisher, and he thinks his grand-kid’s an awesome artist.

Any takers?

The publishing company is probably a family business, meaning that they’d rather hire their grandson than a real design artist. Imagine you sign a contract with a publisher, and he sticks this monstrosity on the cover? I don’t thing I would survive the shame.

I guess it’s twice as long as all of the “One day in the Life of…” books.
