These book covers are from before the 1970s (some from much earlier), and were all designed for a children's audience. What's interesting to me about these covers is that they don't look "dumbed down", just because their target audience may not be able to tell the difference. All are examples of interesting design married with beautiful illustration.
These covers were all pulled from Children's Book Covers, by Alan Powers.
