Our 2020 Mock Caldecott Results!

Over the past month, K-3rd grade students have been reading, evaluating, and comparing some of the best picture books of the year during our 2020 Mock Caldecott unit.
Last week all 455 students voted for the book they thought most deserved to win the Caldecott Medal.

I have to agree with all of these! Such beautiful books!
All happy choices, but I am plumping for RIVER by Elisha Cooper (the illustrations are wonderful – and it is a very exciting read, which makes it not your typical picture book!)
I love them all! Beautiful illustrations and engaging stories for everyone to share and enjoy.
