Vote for A. B seems a little too Kami-Kazi...

My money is on B. I like both of them but somehow B just calls to me.

I am an elementary school teacher and I think A would attract most of my kids!

Kamal said...

A is more appealing to a child because she is as innocent as a child and has not yet established herself as a pilot, but is still ready to make the journey. B is more appealing to adults because they know who she is and what she has accomplished. A matches the dreams of a child. B matches the knowledge of an adult. They are both good, but A is better for the audience base.

I LOVE A because it is just so adorable, and looks like a type of "origin" cover for Amelia Earhart! I'm definitely going with A!

B, absolutely!

A!!!!!! It is more inline with the clothing line! B reminds me of snoopy vs. the Red Baron

I prefer B because Amelia Earhardt was FULL OF ADVENTURE and this portrays her sense of ADVENTURE better!

For me B; I do not picture Emelia A. in a skirt and I think she should be doing the flying in a book about "her". But I see I am in the minority. Thanks for the opportunity to vote.

A, looks great, and would appeal to a child.

I like B best. It show her in a plane and that is what she is known for.

Barry Wass said...

I like both but I think A will to take my vote. I think B reflects the story of a pilot where A shows a little girl that dares to dream of being a pilot. I think that is the stronger message and makes more of a children's book.

Mauricio Graminhani said...

B - She's having a lot of fun here! Congrats!

Whereas I think both covers have merit, from my bookselling perspective, B provides the greater opportunity. The font is feminine without being overly girly. And the character in the plane thoroughly enjoying herself would appeal well to boys. Hence, I believe B has the greater audience potential if we are basing it solely on cover art. (I would also, as someones previously pointed out, like to see the red scarf added to B.)

I vote for BBBBBBBBB! .....BBBecause she is in the airplane and is a pilot!

Karen Terry said...

I like B better

Marli said...

Not really fond of either, Seems like the head from 'A' should be on the Amelia on 'B' . Would make it look more like Amelia would be telling the story of her love of flying. I'd also take the skullcap off so her hair could blow back a little in the wind to give her a more girly look.

B---Kids may have a hard time interpreting what the picture in A represents. When's the last time you saw a aviator's helmet without an airplane? At the least, A will keep the content secret for a while.

A - I like the joy.

Unknown said...

B. I like A, but it seems like is more for younger children. If you want the kids 8 and up, I recommend B.
Congrats!!!

B. If you want to reach the 8 and up audience, B seems more mature.

I think B would appeal to fun seeking side of all children. Give their imagination a jump start and let it run all out.

B (come on! I wanna know that girl!)

i like them both. B was my first choice since she's in the airplane, but A is cute too. Tough decision - glad it's not mine! Good luck!! ;-)

I vote for A! The profile shot in B is not flattering.

Anonymous said...

Without a doubt, A! AE looks like she enjoying a bathtub full of clouds in B. Just my humble opinion. :-)

A, definitely.

A- I love that it shows her childhood dream of flying.

A. They both are great but as many said B looks a bit maniacal (even Calvin and Hobbs-ish) and not sure intended readers will know it is a girl or that that is what old airplanes USED to look like. It could miss the mark a little. I would buy them both tho!

Anonymous said...

I would like A's head on B. Love the plane, so B overall.

Mark Miller said...

Two good options, but A is more clear and straightforward.

Cynthia says "I Agree with Marie Flanagan. Depends is the book about her wanting to learn to fly and then accomplishing that, or is the book about her career flying. A is better for the former, B is better for the latter. The timing is just right for now with new information being discovered."

I agree with Marie Flanagan. "Depends is the book about her wanting to learn to fly and then accomplishing that, or is the book about her career flying. A is better for the former, B is better for the latter." The timing of the book is appropriate with new discoveries now being made. The only reason I would would say "no" to B is it could depict her crashing into the ocean.

I like B

This cover has great energy

I go with my gut instinct and say A.

A it reminds me of my own son, running around the house, up and down the stairs in various costumes as he explores being a hero of all sorts.

They are both great, but I'll take B!

Anonymous from Fair Oaks says A.

Anonymous said...

I don't like either...AE was a real person, and kids LOVE to read stories from the past that are TRUE! Use photos. If it can't be real, then I pick A. B looks too much like the Red Baron, and the smile and eyes look creepy.Just my opinion, but I am a book editor.

I vote fro A. It's cute and will appeal more to children.

Unknown said...

I like A because it reflects more to what a kid thinks when flying is a dream. I remember doing the same as a kid, putting out my arms and making the noises and acting as if I was flying around in a plane. But of course either one will be great, I just lean towards A.

(A) all the way b looks crazy.

Looks like a Maniac in B, A is more suitable and has my vote
