Hello, Coim

You're close to getting this one. The challenge is asking for a public member variable within the PictureBook class, but it looks like your tried adding a title method instead of a member variable. Turn the title method into a member variable, and you'll pass the challenge.

As a refresher, here's an example of a public member variable declared in a class.

public class SomeClassName {
    public String variableName;
}

I hope this helps. Take care.
