Mock Caldecott 2016

This fall we've been reading LOTS of picture books to prepare for our Mock Caldecott election that took place right before winter break.  Our list of books is here.

We had fun reading the stories together, discussing theme and story and the illustrations.  It's a wonderful thing to have a collection of shared literature to refer to and discuss.  In the end we voted. It's clear that this group loves a funny book, they're 6th graders after all.
Winner: I Yam a Donkey by CeCe Bell
Honor Books: The Bear Ate Your Sandwich by Julia Sarcone-Roach and Red, Yellow, Blue with a Dash of White too by Charles George Esperanza.
You can see what other Mocks have chosen here.  I can't wait to see and share what the committee chooses!
