This week we are kicking off our 5th Mock Caldecott program at FES! All 46 classrooms will read six picture books published in 2016 and will discuss and analyze the illustrations. We use the following art terms in library class to discuss illustrations: color, line, space, shape, texture and media. After reading all six books, students will vote and a winning title will be announced on December 22nd.
Here are the nominees for the 2017 FES Mock Caldecott Award.
