Get Ready: March Book Madness 2023 is Coming
One thing we like to do to celebrate books in the spring is take part in March Book Madness.
Modeled after March Madness in college basketball, it’s a single-elimination tournament where books go head to head, with the winner of each matchup decided by kid votes. Winners advance until there is a champion. Teachers Tony Keefer and Scott Jones created the event and there are picture book, middle grade, and YA brackets.
