The Children Have Spoken

In our exclusive interview two weeks ago, Children's Literature Laureate Jon Scieszka insisted that we should give children greater choice in what they read.  Apparently, the Children's Book Council (CBC) agrees.

The organization is sponsoring the Children's Choice Book Award program, which allows children to select award winners.  The CBC has just released the titles of 25 finalists in five categories:  Grades K-2; Grades 3-4; Grades 5-6; Favorite Author; and Favorite Illustrator.  If you know a child in grades K-6, encourage him or her to vote here before May 4th.

The winners will be announced live on May 13 at the Children's Choice Book Awards Gala in New York City.
