Happy Tuesday! Today’s theme for Top Ten Tuesday is all about animals in the book or on the cover, and to be honest it took me a bit to figure out what direction I wanted to go with today’s post. I almost did recent cute dog covers but that quickly piled up to way more than ten, and I’m tired so I really wanted an easy way to stick to ten. And then it hit me! So today I’m featuring book covers that feature less common animals than what you normally see on covers. Namely not dogs or cats or horses. This gave me a little challenge but it was fun to find them!

What about you? What are some of your fave less common animals to see on book covers? Have you read any of the books on my list?

good to know! I haven’t read that series yet.
I love that you went with the less common animals. I’ve seen a lot of dogs and cats today.
haha i was seeing a lot of dogs & cats in my initial search too – and I couldn’t figure out how to narrow them down easily. So i just skipped them altogether this time lol
I spaced Of Fire and Lions! I was looking through my books on Goodreads. I have dogs and birds on my list. This is a great list!
thanks, Andi!
I love your take on this week’s topic!! I could have done an entire post on dogs, but I also tried to have a variety with my covers 🙂 Have a great week!
dogs are definitely a cover fave! 😀
Aww, the cover of Peacebunny Island is adorable.
