There isn’t a kid entry section (I am ten), but I wanted to do it anyway because I like to draw and I am trying to get better at it. π I picked Mr. Allegra’s story because it was funny and I thought of making a wanted poster.
This is my entry. I used pencil to make a sketch and then markers to color it. I wanted to make the cover scary to make like Goldilocks was a criminal. I know it said I didn’t have to put the title in, but I like it there.

You will!

I’m glad you chose Goldilockup because the wanted poster was a great idea. And you did a good job with her expression. Nice!
Thank you! π I am happy you liked it!
Josie – so delightful! Love the RIP B.B. Wolf – wonder who that could be? Is Goldi’s face collaged? It really has a great dimension to it! So clever with the wanted poster.
I drew her face with pencil then went over it with markers. It does look like a collage. I may do that next time! π
