Our fourth, and final, short list of the year will be published during December. In the meantime, we will continue to discuss a wide variety of picture books on our blog, and comments are encouraged on all titles listed. Titles included on the Short Lists are those we believe to be particularly strong, and will be brought to the table for further discussion at our Mock Caldecott Election to be held on Saturday, January 10, 2009.
