Mock Caldecotts: How Did Arlington Vote?

Published: February 2, 2015

And Did We Pick the Official Winner?

Nope.

This year the American Library Association gave the Randolph Caldecott Medal for most distinguished American picture book for children to:

The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend
written and illustrated by Dan Santat

This is the beautifully illustrated story of an imaginary friend, who waits for a long time to be imagined by a child and given a special name. Eventually he gets tired of waiting, and sets out on a quest to find his perfect match in the real world.

 

 

 

The winning book in our Mock Caldecott contest was:

My Teacher is a Monster! (No, I Am Not)
by Peter Brown

Bobby thinks his teacher, Ms. Kirby, is horrible, but when he sees her outside of school and they spend a day in the park together, he discovers she might not be so bad after all.

 

 

Students in Randolph and Barrett Elementary’s Caldecott Clubs also chose “My Teacher is a Monster! (No, I am Not)” as their winner, as did the students at Campbell and Jamestown.
