Another #RecodeTheBarcode moment…ISBN from the back cover of Corey R Tabor’s Fox and the Jumping Contest.

My latest #RecodeTheBarcode funkiness: On this book, the barcode just *has* to be broken too (functional one in top left corner).

Cover of the mentioned book, by Drew Beckmeyer. Features a cut paper looking dark cave interior with anthropomorphic (minimalist but expressive eyes and mouths) stalactite and stalagmite characters, one above the other, slowly dripping themselves into elongated existence.

#ThisBookTheseReasons
Excellent narrative nonfiction: It’s #scienterrific with its great front & back matter, mini visual timeline at bottoms of pages; charts evolution from POV of titular Stalactite & Stalagmite; plus, has a #SecretCover; and now is part of my #RecodeTheBarcode series.

It’s sad when all opportunities for creative funkiness aren’t incorporated into as many books as possible. I love little surprises like #SecretCovers and #RecodeTheBarcode moments—and kids in my Storytime audience love them…so, come on publishers, make it happen!

ANY ISBNs YOU WANT TO SHARE, folks?

An old tweet from Papa MUSKrat’s den…linking to Mel Schuit’s mentioned/shared content.

So, I tracked down an old tweet share from when I was still sadly dabbling in the old place…Mel Schuit celebrating #RecodeTheBarcode … the idea of deliberately incorporating the ISBN into the back cover art in some sort of witty way…

Here’s an FB link too:
