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 can't say that I am ready to hand the Caldecott to this one but it is a GREAT book. It's funny and creatively drawn to life. I also like how the story really begins before the first page and ends way back on the dedication page in the back.
This book is a lot of fun and sure to be popular with kids. Probably not a Caldecott book, but every library should buy it.
Great book. Kids love it. I love the retro feel.
