I’m rooting for some favorites!

My nominee in poetry — Monsterologist — made it to the finals, and while I’m glad, I’m really rooting for Bill Martin Jr’s Big Book of Poetry. It had already been nominated, or that would have been my nominee!

I am unfamiliar with all the books I’m judging in the MG/YA nonfiction category, so I’ll have to wait and see what emerges.

These picture books look great!

The Curious Garden is definitely a favorite of mine, I love the illustrations and the story, as well as the fact that it’s based on a real place.

Definitely — I am very fond of The Book That Eats People. It was written by a parent at one of my district’s elementary schools!

I was on the graphic novel committee this year, and I’m rooting all the way for the Secret Science Alliance. =) Don’t miss it.

Just incredible! I really am so excited to hear who wins, but it was also nice to have the shortlist put up finally. I actually have most of the picture books on hold at the library to bring home and review. The one I’m looking forward to most would have to be The Curious Garden, the illustrations just look beautiful and I loved your review of it.

I’m very impressed you were on the panel! I really miss the days when my kids read books like this…
