This is the first (and still only) book I wrote that I resold to another publisher after it went out of print. The timeline:
2000 wrote the original (titled 365 Adventures) for Dutton (Penguin) in conjunction with Discovery Kids
2004 resold it to Sterling
2010 book out (odd delay for a book that was already written; it's okay—I didn't push)
Here is the original cover. Which do you like better?

Love it! (For the record, I prefer the new cover. I like the "before you grow up" - which I never plan to do.) Looks like lots of fun. Congrats!
Thanks Becky!
