We voted last week for the Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award, and the results are in! The winner at Jefferson is Lion vs. Rabbit by Alex Latimer. The students seemed to really enjoy all of the books, and many books books received more than 20 votes.  I will be using a Battle of the Books format to review the books with the 3rd grade next week, during Book Fair and conferences.  You can find a link to my Prezi here.  I have a lot of fun teaming the students up and making a competition of it. Since all of the students have read all of the books, everyone gets to participate!  I found all of the inspiration for this from David Sonnen and Kim Guyette's Battle of the Books on the WCCPBA wiki page.
