   I loved Amazing Creatures, still need to read some of your list, Elisabeth, especially How To Swallow A Pig Sky Painter and Funny Bones. There are so many I’ve read, but even more I haven’t. Being on that committee must be a challenge!

      I agree, Linda–the Sibert would be one of the more challenging committees. So many wonderful nonfiction titles this year–as every year, I think. I haven’t read as widely this year as I did last year, so there are still many titles I need to find.

   Our brains are on the same wave length today! I made a very similar post. I loved Trapped! Such a beautiful book. Shared it last year with my class. I am very busy trying to read more nonfiction picture books. And so enjoying it!

      I can’t think of a more pleasurable type of reading. I am very grateful to live in a golden age of nonfiction picture books! Love that we have similar posts today!

      I loved Trapped, too, and was especially impressed that the author built it out of a newspaper article. It was so much more vibrant and alive than anything I read in the paper!
      (Also, it made me want to go and learn how to save whales.)

   You have some great reading ahead. How to Swallow a Pig is on my list to read.

   The Robert F. Sibert award has been my favorite to read for my challenge this semester so this Mock Sibert situation has really caught my attention. Do you think it’s too late to participate?!

      It’s definitely not too late to participate. I think the last day to post on your blog and connect to others is Jan 6, but double-check at Kid Lit Frenzy (links above). I’ve also bought many of the books that are most buzzed about this year and would be happy to loan, so just let me know if you want to borrow a pile of them.

   I expected to have read or at least heard of everything on your list, but Sky Painter is new to me. I’m suggesting my library purchase it. Thanks!

   The Great Monkey Rescue! Thanks for putting that on my radar–the golden lion tamarin is my favorite animal. That little face on the cover made me smile instantly 🙂
