On a (semi-)related note, anyone else tired of all the covers by Raul Colon?
(That will probably be an unpopular comment, too, but I do feel that sometimes one illustrator gets overexposed...)"

I have to jump in and disagree. I am always pleased to see a cover by Raul Colon. His covers are distinguished by the way they really convey what a book is about. Especialy the ones for middle grade fiction. Not an easy task to lure a reader to pick th em up. Beautiful, colorful and filled with meaning. I appreciate his efforts.
