[dover]

Rabbit hound?

 

not to over analyze or anything, but rabbits run with their two front paws basically connected then to their two back feet.

 

Those are rabbit-hounds!

First off, beautiful book!

But it got me thinking that after all these years, I really don't understand whats going on in this cover. I always thought the kids were in a basement and that was some kind of mirror. Now seeing it again it looks as if they are on the front porch of an old house and that is some kind of an ancient (almost Egyptian) doorway. Then there's all that sand too. I do confess I have forgotton the interior story, so maybe that explains all of it, but by just seeing the cover alone, it's pretty confusing.

It's a house of mystery!

That's the feature story but my point is that Adam's was always able to convey the subject of the cover very well. This one is a little confusing to me.

 

The better question: What are the boys wearing, Pro-Keds or Converse?

[Twistty1]

Pf flyers maybe..?

 

[Jayman]

Could be with that stitching by the heel.

Here's my take: It's supposed to be a normal, everyday house, but when you look in the door it opens into an Egyptian tomb. The sand is meant to be a spillover from that (Egyptian tombs are in the desert), but I think that's what makes it confusing, especially with the kid and the pail. Adams probably should have left that out.

Not a chance! My kid would be playing in the sand, the younger one, while the older one would realize the danger. Just like Neal depicted. The two older ones are aware of the portal, the little one just knows there is sand and its play time. I have seen this in real life......not the Egypt in the doorway......the other thing.
