A Spring 2022 Newbery/Caldecott Check In

From time to time, do I indulge in a little Newbery and Caldecott conjecture? I do.

My favorite conjecturing methods include . . .

A Fuse #8 Production predictions

The Calling Caldecott blog

The Heavy Medal blog

Aaand the method I bring you today: checking out the Mock Newbery and Mock Caldecott lists on Goodreads.

Are these lists (which can be voted on by any Goodreads user) in any way official or, for that matter, accurate? Official, not one bit. Accurate? Sometimes.

More than anything, I see these lists as books to investigate further, and what’s the harm in that?

I will share the top five Mock Caldecott and Mock Newbery here, and you can click on the lists to see more.
