Silly me, I had this article all written up the day the international Toy Story 4 trailer premiered, and got so wrapped up in the excitement about it that I forgot to hit the “publish” button! Oops. Well, I’ve got five new book covers on Amazon to share!

Although this round of artwork doesn’t really provide a ton of plot clues, is’t always nice to see the final designs. The Art of Toy Story 4 will definitely be mine – I love all the behind-the-scenes creative information about the films that the “art of” books provide. And one of the children’s books does have a few details that I’m curious about. Why is Woody riding a cat on the Toy Story 4 Look and Find cover? That setting appears to be the antiques store. The other three cover scenes are Bonnie’s classroom, the Star Adventurer booth, and the pinball machine party – which I’m surprised to see Buzz in. Will he actually be in there, too? Or is this image just artistic license?
There are still plenty more book covers yet to come, so stay tuned!
