I felt the same way with the Judy Blume book covers...I loved the old ones (the ones I grew up with in the late 70s/early 80s) :) Great quiz! And there was also that unfortunate incident with the toothpaste and the NOSMO KING :) I agree re: the book covers.

I'm sure that they felt the pictures should look up-to-date, but I don't feel they're as charming as the old ones. Especially the older books with the Louis Darling pictures were really cute.
