Mock Caldecott

This past Monday librarians from around Nassau County gathered to discuss some of the best picture books of 2007 and then we voted for our favorites in a Mock Caldecott election. The "winner" was The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick.

There were also three "honor" books: Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity by Mo Willems, Old Penn Station by William Low and Henry's Freedom Box by Ellen Levine, illustrated by Kadir Nelson. The Caldecott Award is given to a book for exceptional illustrations. The real Caldecott and Newbery Award winners and Honor Books will be announced Monday, January 14.
The Mother/Daughter Book Discussion group will be reading The Invention of Hugo Cabret for its January 29 meeting.
