illustrator - portfolio - COLLINS, PEGGY - Where the Wild Things Are-© 2006 classroomcompletepress.com
OK, this one was HARD. How do you make an 
illustration of a book you read ten times a day to your 
child and make it recognizeable, yet different enough? 
Not to mention how much I love Maurice Sendak.
This is another cover for a literature study for the book 
Where the Wild Things Are.
illustrator - portfolio - COLLINS, PEGGY - Ramona Quimby Age 8-© 2006 classroomcompletepress.com
Again, I LOVED the ramona books when I was growing 
up, so when I saw this book on the list of the 50+ 
covers I was contracted to do - I was very excited.
This is for a literature study on the book Ramona 
Quimby - Age 8.
illustrator - portfolio - COLLINS, PEGGY - James and the Giant Peach-© 2006 classroomcompletepress.com
This is one cover in a series of 50+ covers I am doing 
for a teaching resource company. This one is for a 
literature study of James and the Giant Peach. This was 
tonnes of fun as this is one of my favourite stories, I 
was told to maintain the integrity of the story, while 
making the illustration mine - a tough sell when one of 
my favourite illustrators did a version of this book.

The gees cross the horse path and spook the 
horses, then the riders go tumbling off.
