The cover for “Every Monday Mabel” by Jashar Awan.
My students loved the mystery of what Mabel is up to at the start of “Every Monday Mabel” by @jashar.bsky.social and then seeing each of the secondary characters reappear at the Big Moment. A great read aloud!

Picture book cover of "Fireworks" by Matthew Burgess and Cátia Chien.
I can't think of another book besides "Fireworks" (@matthewburgessj.bsky.social & Cátia Chien) that has led every class to gasp audibly when we get to the "finale." The energy of a summer day leads to an awe-inspiring night sky. Exquisite.

Mock Caldecott Contender: “The Last Stand” by @antwaneady.bsky.social and Jarrett & Jerome Pumphrey. Students loved seeing who was a part of a typical Saturday and tracing how that changes in subsequent weeks.

Mock Caldecott Contender: “Dalmartian” by Lucy Ruth Cummins. Students loved seeing the ways that the “guest” wasn’t so much like a dog and exploring the limited palette throughout. A fun read aloud.

Both of my fifth grade classes picked Home in a Lunchbox as their #mockcaldecott pick. Looking forward to seeing if we’re right on Monday. I’m wondering if The Yellow Bus or My Daddy is a Cowboy are also contenders.

Book cover for “Two Together” published by Chronicle Books.
Mock Caldecott Contender: “Two Together” by Brendan Wenzel. Students loved the how the materials were different for the cat and dog and how the energetic rhythm of the text mirrored the animals’ adventures.

Mock Caldecott Contender: “Life After Whale” by Lynn Brunelle and Jason Chin. Students were impressed by the incredibly detailed images and the new life that arises after a whale dies. What could have been dark and sad was awe inspiring.

Mock Newbery Contender: “The Man Who Didn’t Like Animals” by @underwoodwriter.bsky.social & LeUyen Pham. Students were aghast at the title, a perfect setup for coming twists. So many details to discover—a favorite was pigs playing scrabble.

Mock Caldecott Contender: “My Block Looks Like” by @bxstoryteller.bsky.social & Frank Morrison. Students loved how the energy of the words and images conveyed the vibrancy of the Bronx from sidewalks to bodegas to subways. We were wowed by every page.

Nothing better on the day before break than a visit from our #mockcaldecott winner @deborahfreedman.net to chat with my fourth graders about her books, her process, and Partly Cloudy. They were thrilled to meet you. ❤️❤️❤️

Mock Caldecott Contender: “Noodles on a Bicycle” by Kyo Maclear and Gracey Zhang. Students loved the gravity-defying talents of the cyclists, the surprise when the noodles arrive, and the family’s hungry cat throughout.

#mockcaldecott day 3 with a fun pairing. They loved the different art methods merging. And could relate to coaxing a parent to join in the imaginative play. They are really noticing a lot of illustration choices!

Day 2 of #mockcaldecott . Great reactions to the end of Pretty Ugly (IYKYK). And fourth graders loved the progression of angry letters in I’m Sorry You Got Mad.
