Mock Bluebonnet

In Texas, our state book award for children is called the Texas Bluebonnet Award. The target audience for these books: students in grades 3-6.
Our students will vote this week in our school library.
We will have our own Mock Bluebonnet before our school votes. Just as we did with our Mock Caldecott, it will be very interesting to see where our class lines up with the rest of Texas.

Two of the current nominees are:


Turtle in Paradise by Jennifer L. Holm


And:



Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger


Both of these books are very much loved by my students. I have no idea which will win our school vote.  My students are doing some campaigning among themselves, and are even creating their own sticker for the book!
