BOOK COVERS THAT FEATURE ANIMALS

---

Using some type of cover design element is always a favorite thing. One I don’t think I’ve done is design where the designer and art features animals on the book cover design. Because sometimes everyone likes to see the rambunctious cat of our leading character as part of the design.

ANIMALS ON THE BOOK COVER DESIGN

---

FREAKY IN FRESNO, LAURIE BOYLE CROMPTON

I read something by Laurie that was fun. So apart from wanting to read this, also how can one NOT include this? It’s a perfect fit for this list. Goodreads

NO JUDGEMENTS AND NO OFFENSE, MEG CABOT

These both feature an animal and sound like cute reads too. Also how is it that I haven’t read a novel by Meg yet. On these books we have a dog and a cat. Goodreads

OVER EASY, PAMELA FORD

Not only does this sound cute, it was a random find for me plus it has the required element to fit this topic. Goodreads

A CASTLE IN THE CLOUDS, KERSTIN GIER

A tabby cat plus a fun mystery? What more can a reader want. Yes, this is one book I have read. Goodreads

LOVE AND THE SILVER LINING, TAMMY L. GRAY

Only in silhouette, but this one is still fitting plus the heroine loves animals, too. Goodreads

A COWBOY’S TOUCH, DENISE HUNTER

I mean a cowboy on the cover is one thing (and good enough!) but add in a horse and this book is perfect for the list. Goodreads

SO OVER MY HEAD, JENNY B. JONES

It’s too bad I haven’t read this series yet because Jenny’s books always make me laugh out loud. Also, yes this cover is an older edition that has an updated design. Goodreads

A GIRL’S GUIDE TO THE OUTBACK, JESSICA KATE

I mean this isn’t likely a pet, but I had to include it because a: the book is a cute read and b: it does include a kangaroo on the cover. Goodreads

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS, MAGGIE KNOX

I mean… look at that cute little face? Christmas novel or not, we have to include this one. Goodreads

SAVE THE DATE AND THE UNEXPECTED EVERYTHING, MORGAN MATSON

More than one of Morgan’s novels feature dogs and they’re just too cute not to include. Goodreads

FAR FROM NORMAL, BECKY WALLACE

This book sounds as cute as its cover art looks. Goodreads
