Well, let me start this thread by sharing something I've found by some random googling a while ago:
Obviously, this is about the re-release. [spoiler=If you can't read PDF files(like the one above), open this spoiler to see what it says...]
ANIMORPHS SERIES
By K.A. Applegate
Ages 8-12
ANIMORPHS has sold over 20
million copies worldwide!
The first six books of Animorphs return,
with striking new lenticular covers that
morph!

which showcases the amazing lenticulars
featured on each cover!
Scholastic will re-launch the internationally bestselling Animorphs series in
Summer 2011, starting with a six-book arc. In its heyday, the Animorphs series
sold over 20 million copies worldwide and was translated in 26 languages
and was turned into a popular Nickelodeon TV show.
For the re-launch, Scholastic has updated the covers to give them a fresh, modern
look: in keeping with the eye-catching nature of the original covers, the new books
will make use of morphing lenticulars: the characters transform right on the
covers.
An updated look gives the series new vitality for a new generation of readers.
Animorphs is sci-fi at its best: fast-paced, thought-provoking, and a lot of
fun!
Book 1: THE INVASION (May 2011)
The Earth is being invaded, but no one knows about it. When Jake, Rachel, Tobias,
Cassie, and Marco stumble upon a downed alien spaceship and its dying pilot, they're
given an incredible power -- they can transform into any animal they touch. With it,
they become Animorphs, the unlikely champions in a secret war for the planet. And
the enemies they're fighting could be anyone, even the people closest to them. So
begins K.A. Applegate's epic series about five normal kids with a limitless amount of
forms and abilities.
Book 2: THE VISITOR (May 2011)
Rachel is still reeling from the news that the Earth is secretly under attack by
parasitic aliens known as the Yeerks. And that she and her friends -- five kids who,
purely by chance, stumbled onto a downed spacecraft and were given the power to
morph into any animal they touch -- are the planet's only defense. But Rachel's
always been something of a daredevil. So when it's suggested that they infiltrate the
home of their assistant principal, Mr. Chapman, who also happens to be a human
host of the Yeerks, she volunteers. But what she finds inside may be more than even
she can handle.
K. A. Applegate is the author of the bestselling ANIMORPHs
series, as well as the Remnants and Everworld series, Home of
the Brave, and the Roscoe Riley Rules series. She lives in
Minnesota.
She won the Best New Children's Book Series Award in 1997 in
Publishers Weekly.

What was in the spoiler is all copy-pasted from the file. I didn't remove anything, but the pictures weren't included in the copy-paste, sadly.
[spoiler=But I uploaded the most interesting one, which is the new cover for The Invasion.]
