Expanding on KaiYves entry, the Animorph books almost always featured the narrating character on the cover and an animal featured in the book (the animal that was the end result of the morph always had cut overlayed from a graphic of the scene depicted in a book).  They did like to play with this too.  In five cases, the animal in question was not real (and in one case, the animal wasn't real within the universe, but the result of a temporary power boost allowing the character to morph into animals she could make up, the other four were aliens).  With four unique morphs, humans were the most featured end result, each one was a unique individual (one human was an older version of the character).  Although two books featured a Red-Tailed Hawk and human morphing, the first one (book #3) was human into hawk and the second one was hawk into (same individual) human (book #13).   Finally, one book featured an animal that did not appear in the story (human to ant) but was important.  In this case, the morph was only partially done to prove that the character could do it.  The ant was never the less important as the character's CallBack to the one time he did it for real and the trauma from the experience served as a metaphor for the plot of the book, making it significant to the story.
