This week the readers for the Maud Hart Lovelace Award nominees get to vote for their favorites. This will become the list that Minnesota Kids from grades 3-5 will be reading from for the next school year. Earlier, I made a list and then learned this week that we could only vote for 7 books. Yes, painful to trim my list! I am sending you all of the books I would have liked to have voted for this year. If you are looking for good books, check out my reviews which I have linked to the titles.
