The 2012 nominee lists for the Rebecca Caudill, Bluestem, and Monarch awards are up! You can download them from
here,
here, and
here respectively. I was really pleased to see that we had 14 of the 20 Rebecca Caudill nominees already here at the library, and I've already read 7 of them. So far, my favorite was Scott Westerfeld's
Leviathan, closely followed by Jon Scieszka's
Knucklehead.
The Bluestem list looks really good, too. A couple of this year's Bluestem books are also Rebecca Caudill nominees, which is interesting. So if you read
Extra Credit by Andrew Clements or
Knucklehead, you're ahead of the game. I was also really pleased to noticed that a graphic novel made it onto the Bluestem list:
The Secret Science Alliance and the Copycat Crook by Eleanor Davis. I'm looking forward to reading that one!
And the Monarch selections are charming as always. I really liked Jim Aylesworth's version of
The Mitten, and Jackie Urbanovic's story
Duck at the Door. I think kids will really have fun going through these lists. Let me know what you all think of the selections!
