EDITED TO ADD CLUES.
Long time since we played this. So we have two pics.
Pic1: There are five books. Guess the names of the books.
Clue1: All are children’s books. Target age group 3+ – 8.
Clue2: If you have been following book publishers blogs, it is easy to pick out the cover art.
Pic2: This is the book I am reading currently.
Clue1: Young adult book, but……I read it anyway. So deal with it.
Clue2: It is Newbery Medal award winner.
Rules:
Quiz closes by May 28, 5.30PM PST.
Results will be out May 31, 4.00AM PST
The first person to get all the 6 books right before May 28, 5.30PM PST wins.
The reward is a big round of applause. Currently very affordable 🙂
The books are as follows.
Pic1: Assuming I have sorted out my left-right confusion,
Top right: The Rumour by Anushka Ravishankar, Illustrations by Kanyiki Kini, Published by Karadi Tales
Bottom left: When The Earth Lost It’s Shapes by Shobha Viswanath, Illustrations Chistine Kastl, Published by Karadi Tales
Bottom right: The Lizard’s Tail by Shobha Viswanath, Illustrations by Christine Kastl, Published by Karadi Tales
Left middle: All About Nothing, Concept and Art by Nina Sabnani, Written by Deepa Nayar, Published by Tulika
Pic2: A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L’Engle
Such a vision in 1962!! Amazing!! Planet Camazotz and IT reminded me of certain shades of 1984 by George Orwell. Considering that 1984 was published in 1949, it must have certainly influenced L’Engle. But Wrinkle In Time has a happy ending, unlike 1984(*shudder*), and sends a strong message that love is the ultimate messiah.
A big hand to Sandhya and Kaapi for getting pic 2: A wrinkle In Time right. Good job guys. Sandhya, keen eye, you picked out the Karadi Tales title from my bookshelf.

Pic 2 is the Stephanie Meyer’s series? Twilight or something..
UTBT SAYS: Is that the final answer?
OK. I know one book in pic 1. Scratching my head for others! The one in the top left.. I know thatz cheating…
UTBT SAYS: Nee udhai vanga pore 🙂
Not for the cheating part. But for the head scratching.
W.R.T Pic1, you should be the last person to scratch anything.
What about your Tulika-challenged readers 🙁
UTBT SAYS: All pics in Pic1 are cover art. So it doesn’t matter if you are Tulika challenged.
I think the pic2 book is “A Wrinkle in time”? Still wondering about pic1.
And thanks for visiting my post.
UTBT SAYS: You are welcome.
Is that the final answer for pic2?
Reg pic1, think in terms of 6 different books.
Our friend Chox must know, I am guessing 🙂
Clues please, pretty please ?
UTBT SAYS: Ooooookaaay. Edited to add clues 🙂
I have also added clues to the quiz.
Publisher blog ellam padhichadhe kidayadhu – so zero despite the clues you’ve given
Please do another quiz with Eric Carle and Sandra Boynton books – Adhu Daan Ennoda Level 🙁
UTBT SAYS: Done ma’m. Will try something creative with Eric Carle/Sandra Boynton for the next quiz.
I’m not familiar with children’s books, but the second one is A wrinkle in time.
UTBT SAYS: Welcome Kaapi. So final answer??
Pic1 has Karadi titles. The rumour, The Lizard’s tale, When the earth lost it’s shapes, The boy who drew cats, and the last one eludes me. Although I have to admit that I cheated. Took a look at the photograph of your bookshelf in your next post and recognised the books.:)
UTBT SAYS: Sandhya, keen eye, with ‘generous self-initiated’ clues 🙂
Oooh I’m late. Never Mind. Got The Wrinkle in Time right away – lovely idea! Kid’s read it several times over and asked me to read it, should do it some time. Also have the The Wind in the Door and one more in the series.
Joining in the applause for Sandhya 🙂
UTBT SAYS: Yes, I loved Wrinkle in Time. And I was half expecting you to dazzle us with the titles of all five books in pic 1.
Next month Chox. PV wants something spl from Eric Carle and Sandra Boynton. Will do something fun.
Love Carle and Boynton – waiiting for the post.
As for pic 1, not yet seen some of the Karadi Books, so wouldn’t have guessed. You amaze me though – you live half a planet away and yet have got them already 🙂
They’re on my list – which gets longer by the day!
UTBT SAYS: Will do something creative with Boynton and Carle.
Did not attempt pic 1. But for pic 2:
Clock -> Time
Scarf -> Girl -> Wife
My guess was “The Time Traveller’s wife” 🙂
Full thappu!
UTBT SAYS: 🙂 I haven’t read TTT’s wife. Saw the movie in bits and pieces in while on vacation. So I don’t know if I will read it. But I was thinking that a clock with thali on top will be a good clue.
[…] Jul 2010 PV requested a Eric Carle quiz and here it […]
