The book cover is intriguing and I like how it portrays the two boys. It seems like they’re up to something. I’ve heard great things about the book so I can’t wait to read.

I like the cover and as well the illustrations in the book. I think, after reading the book that it's a perfect drawing to complement the story.

I find the book cover very cute and I personally love this style of illustration. I think it gives us a good idea of who the main characters will be in this book. These kids look hopeful, playful, and curious. This cover makes me want to read the book for sure!

The cover is a beautiful painting that grabs the attention instantly with two adorable kids who appear to be on an eager adventure. As they are holding a light, maybe they are following the water into the dark probing the danger with their curiosity. Or it depicts what they may have to go through daily for their survival. It appears lovely and on a closer look seems to hold deeper meaning.

I love the cover and the illustration it depicts. Very apt at what the book title is about Dumb orphans .Two children going on an adventure into the African terrain with dangers lurking .The illustration is beautiful.

The cover is great and eye catching with its cartoonish drawing of the boys. Even if it is too simplistic for the age group.

I agree with you about the appropriateness of the cover for the age group. I do like the graphics, but the appeal of the cover is for younger children.

The cover is very illustrative of the book. The small lamplight and the warm colors are all elements that seem to have been carefully drawn.

I like the simple, colourful drawing on the cover, which I think represents the story well. I also like the black-and-white drawings that appear throughout the book.

The cover certainly piques interests. The simplicity is evident. It goes well with the other illustrations present within a book. The boys onthe cover have an aura of mischief around them. I definitely liked the cover.

I love it! This is meant to be a children's book after all, and it has a very whimsical, childlike feel to it. All of the illustrations in the book do :)

Id say it’s kind of funny when paired with the title. Two people walking into a tunnel that seems to have been carved by something extraordinary. Yes, that’s a bit dumb😂

The cover is very appealing, the illustration is drawn to be appealing to children. It displays the characters and shows their personalities.
I think the cover draws attention and displays part of what you may find in the book.
