Harper Collins have got previews of a select number of pages from inside the new "I Can Read" Tie-in Books for Voyage of the Dawn Treader - "The Quest for the Lost Lords" and "Aboard the Dawn Treader".
The previews contain a couple of new photos. Nothing majorly new, a few that were also featured in the Movie Storybook, but there are a couple of new character shots of Caspian and the children which are quite interesting (see attachments below).
I would warn you not to read too much into the contents of either book though, limited as they are - The Lost Lords book for example starts with a photo of Eustace in the water from the end of the movie, but with text describing the start of the movie. It then features a picture of all three children sitting looking at the picture on the floor, which is without doubt from the very end of the movie, but again is described as being at the start of the movie. It really doesn't make much sense, but i guess given the target audience of the book, they probably figured it wouldn't matter Anyway, you can take a look at the book previews via the following links, though there isn't much beyond the three photos i picked out below.

Awwe, I miss being a little girl, when my mom used to read to me. Nice Pics though!

I really like the third picture, though they're all very nice.
I remember reading those types of books in first grade. They were fun to read.
Nice! There are some very nice pictures of the Dawn Treader, and although some of the sentences are kind of odd, these books look pretty good, and maybe even full of spoilers!
In the third pic, is that when they return from Narna?

Yes I think that is when they come back b/c the picture is on the floor. Edmund looks very grown up in that last pic.

Great find, icarus!
I agree with everyone who likes the third picture. It's very bright and crisp. Ditto to Valiant - Edmund does look very grown up!
The first picture of Caspian is really neat. I also love the full-page picture of the Dawn Treader in the second I Can Read book. It makes me excited.

They are pretty cool but I want more Caspian/Lilliandil spoilers! I'm literally asking for a face to face shot of Caspian and Lilliandil that looks romantic. Please Fox!
Long Live King Caspian & Queen Liliandil Forever!
Jill+Tirian! Let there be Jilrian!
Wonderful, more chance them finishing the series
and DamselJillPole, I seriously hope they don't make the romance of Caspian and Lilliandu a big deal, it would weigh down the story and it wasn't at all a big deal in the book, why should it be one in the movie?
Yes, I think the romance shouldn't overtake the main plot (then again I'm not a big fan of romance in general.) But I guess I can see where Damsel is coming from. Anything that would push Suspian out the window woud be nice.

Not a good excuse, though. I noticed in the German storybook that the photo of Lucy when she sees the "Water Nymph" (or whatever they're calling it) is clearly from the scene where they've just destroyed the Dark Island. I assume she's actually smiling down at Gael being reunited with her mother.
Thank you icarus for the discovery!

I think my favourite of the pictures is actually one i didn't post - It's the picture of the painting hanging on the wall. We've seen lots of the painting in the trailer and such, which is why i didn't think it noteworthy enough to repost, but its nice to get just a decent still photo of it to admire without any of the CGI animation or water effects going on.
When we first saw the painting in the trailers, i was a little taken aback by it, as it's nothing like how i expected it to be. But having looked at it for a while, you can appreciate why they designed it in the way they did, and there is something quite mysterious about the design, and for that i really kind of like it now.
AWSOME!!!!! LOVE THESE PICS!!!! OH and aragorn2 its not that Damsel wants it to overshadow the story, but for them to just have it in the movie to get out of peoples minds Suspian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CANT WAIT TILL DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually I wouldn't mind seeing Caspian and Lilliandil as well! No Edmund, no Susan!!
The pictures are beautiful
