A program of the Children's Services department of the Allen County (Indiana) Public Library. Please join our discussion of this year's best picture books for children.
Welcome to the ACPL Mock Caldecott Blog!
If you love children's picture books, you're in the right place. We take great joy in highlighting and discussing our favorite newly published picture books.
We hope you will join us in our discussion! Feel free to leave your comments on the titles we post. You are welcome to suggest new titles, as well. Simply leave a comment, or send us an email.
We have two Mock Caldecott events planned!
Families were invited to visit the Main Library on Saturday & Sunday, December 10 & 11, 2011. They looked over our books, learned about the Caldecott Award, and voted for their favorite books. Click here to see which books were elected by the children and families.
Adults -- librarians, teachers, parents, other interested adults -- are invited to attend our traditional Mock Caldecott Election on January 14, 2012, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Indiana librarians will earn 4 LEUs for attending; all participants will receive a certificate of attendance. We'll learn about the Caldecott Award, talk about our favorites, and vote for our own Mock Caldecott Award winners. Click here to register to attend the adult program.

I thought that this was a pretty good story about friendship. The illustrations were colorful and you could see the expressions on the character's faces. Altogether, the illustrations and the story were pretty good.
I enjoyed the book, it was very cute. The pictures were nice and did add to the story, but I'm not sure if they are Caldecott quality. I did enjoy the book though.
Jamie at TUFW: This is a wonderful book about friendship. And I really did enjoy the illistrations. I do not know what they are made of; maybe paint?
This book was cute, but I did not enjoy the illustrations all that much. I'm just not a huge fan of repetitive illustrations and more white space. The pictures are great for younger students though.
