Areas for Improvement:
Make a decision of what kind of style you are going to adopt for the covers.
Think about combination of type and image - just get some designs going.
Addressed the idea of being digital - keep this in mind throughout.
Revisit the idea of who will be reading it - parents or children?

Areas for Improvement:
Research more into the history behind the books. You already seem to have an understanding of the history (dates) but think about context, how you could bring context to the book cover in a concise way
A very modern design would fail to bring nostalgia/evoke memories within parents who are buying the books for there children, consider how you can appeal to this older generation as well as young generation
