You don’t even need to participate, just stopping by and saying hi would be great! Don’t forget to stop by the other participants!
Today we are going to show off pretty book covers with the theme of gardens on
them. And you know me...I will make this a diverse list of books (as
much as I can). Click on the book titles below to go to their Amazon

Gardens
Sometimes that very thin line between illusion and reality is not as
clearly defined as we would like it to be. It certainly wasn't the day
that Alan Mitz stumbled into the garden of Abdul Gasazi. For in this
bizarre and eerie place -- where strange topiary trees loomed -- the
evil visage of Gasazi casts its shadow. And even after Alan escaped, the
spell of Gasazi still seemed to penetrate into his everyday world. In
this extraordinary, unusual, and unique picture book, Chris Van Allsburg
explores both the real and surreal worlds with incredible deftness. In
doing so, he has created exquisite and beautiful images that will
continue to haunt readers long after they have left the enchanted garden
of Abdul Gasazi.
What interesting covers have you seen with gardens on them?
