Librarians And Book Lovers Recreate Their Favorite Book Covers - The Results Are Predictably Hilarious

A sassy pug, a carton of eggs, two Swiffers, and a fire hydrant - these are just a few of the props bibliophiles are using to recreate book covers in the North Manchester Public Library's #NMPLundercover challenge!

Submissions are popping up on Facebook and Instagram. The hashtag #NMPLundercover made its way to the San Carlos Fire Department and they decided to re-create their favorite fire safety book with a few items they just happened to have handy.

Librarians and readers pulled favorites off their bookshelves and went to work. Book covers ranged from adult bestsellers
