At 8 a.m. tomorrow, the winners of the 2014 ALA Youth Media Awards will be announced. We will find out which books will win the prestigious New
bery (the award for the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children), the Printz (the award for the
author of the most distinguished contribution to literature for Young Adults), and the Caldecott (the award for the illustrator
of the most distinguished contribution to picture books). The Horn Book just published the results of their Mock Caldecott over on Calling Caldecott. We did our own Mock Caldecott vote with the third-graders of Sharp Elementary. They picked Mr. Tiger Goes Wild by Peter Brown as their winner
while also making some very astute observations about Journey by Aaron Becker and Train by Elisha Cooper. We can't wait to see if their pick is the same as the real Caldecottand we won't have to wait very long! We'll be live tweeting the results at@CHPLibrary. Follow us on Twitter for the results as they are announced!
