Spotlight Friday - my Mock Caldecott long list... so far! 6.30.17


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're about halfway through the year and before we know it the season of "Mock" will be here!  You know, when we read the current year's best of the best titles with students to try and figure out what will be presented at the Youth Media Awards next February!  I love sharing new titles with students, getting them to understand the award criteria and look deeper into these stories.

Today I'm sharing my Mock Caldecott long list... so far!

  2. Great list, Michele! I'm going to add Rock, Paper, Scissors as well. Really think Wolf in the Snow is perfect.
