At first glance, this cover might seem to warrant a higher Originality score, since elephant racing isn't the most typical sight. But my intention with that factor isn't really to award points for unusual scenes that make sense within the context of their reality like this one, but rather images that are stylistically novel. And stylistically speaking, this image isn't all that unique.

I'm also not exactly blown away by the artwork, which is fairly cartoonish and simple. Zooming in on the faces of the characters riding the elephants reveals little detail, and that tiger in the upper right looks kind of silly. But the coloring is very nice, and I'm a bit of a sucker for bright colors like this.

Story is the best scoring factor here, although not by much. The look of surprise on the face of the woman to the left reveals that this is an unusual occurrence, even in the exotic setting. And the look of joy on the face of the boy riding the elephant gives us a good sense of personality.
