Kids, here's your chance to make your voice heard at the ballot box: vote for the Children's Choice Award in the ICPL Children's Department throughout the month of March!
The Children's Choice Award is the only national book award given only by children and teens. There are five books nominated (also chosen by kids in school libraries around the country) in each of three age group categories: kindergarten to second grade, third to fourth grade, and fifth to sixth grade.
Visit our voting booth and fill out the secret ballot for your age group category. The winners will be announced when voting ends everywhere on May 6!
For a full list of this year's nominees, click here.
Kids can also vote online (instantly and without entering any personal information) by visiting http://everychildareader.net/vote/.
This series is a great choice for readers moving on from very short, very early chapter books but not quite ready for longer, denser chapter books. Short sentences and simpler vocabulary without seeming babyish! Absolutely adorable illustrations in a palette of orange, black, and white add to the whimsy and fun of this series, which blends magic and mystery as Kitty, a shape-shifting superhero, saves the day in one exciting, page-turning volume after another. -Anne W
