Spotlight Friday: Mock Caldecott long list 7.08.16


Time to get ready for the weekend!
Kick up your feet and find a good place to read.
Sharing #booklove for your classroom or library.
Spotlighting a book or two because these books deserve the spotlight!


We are halfway through the 2016 year already!  I thought this week I would pause and share my Mock long lists.
