How did you do?
| 10/10 | Picture book perfect! Congratulations. You're obviously a picture book devotee. |
| 7-9/10 | Pretty good. You know your Sendak from your Scheffler. |
| 4-6/10 | Not bad, but perhaps you should add a few picture book classics to your Christmas list. |
| 1-3/10 | That's an appallingly Gruffa-low score. You need to brush up on your picture book knowledge. |

Weird! I can see the first and last ones, but the rest perplex me. Maybe I'm colour blind or something. I shall keep looking, though. And I'm NOT going to click on them - not until I at least get into the 'not bad' category.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite relieved to hear you're perplexed, Malachy, as my wife has just told me that they're too easy!
DeleteI'm sure you'll know most of them. Try squinting a little. :)
Maybe two more now. Good quiz!
DeleteNo - I only got only two right. My eyes don't work that way. Think I'll stick to being a writer.
DeleteI'm equally bamboozled by most. The Tiger Who Came to Tea and Snowman (plus Hungry Caterpillar, of course) just seem obvious, but the others don't mean a thing to me! I will squeeze the brain cells some more before I give up, though!
ReplyDeleteFive for me - But I rushed it like I did all exams : ) Great fun - Thank you! Once you click on them it's "Doh! Of course!!!". Moira
ReplyDeleteD'you know what? Scrolling through again, suddenly two more seem blindingly obvious! This is very odd!
ReplyDelete9 out of 10 :) Stumped by Dogger, a book I'm not familiar with, the others were pretty easy though, I wonder if it's because I'm an illustrator!
ReplyDeleteGreen eggs and ham was pretty difficult too though, a lucky guess
Delete9 out of 10 is very impressive, especially given the responses from Malachy, Pippa and Moira.
DeleteI suspect illustrators will do better than most people on this as they will be more aware of colour and basic composition. Perception is a funny old thing!
Fun! Six for me and I dont' think I'd ever have guessed the other four.
ReplyDeleteNine out of ten. I didn't get number four, but OUR copy of number four has a completely different colour. I could only get half of them by taking off my glasses and relaxing my eyes and letting them be out of focus. It can help to be short-sighted! Fun quiz!
ReplyDeleteOnly seven out of ten for me but it was great fun, Jonathan. Thank you :)
ReplyDelete7 for me, I got stuck on Dogger, Green Eggs and Ham, and Guess How Much I love You. Thanks for the fun quiz :)
ReplyDeleteTotally loved this quiz :)
