And the 2009 Winner Is...Bye-Bye, Big Bad Bullybug!

September 27, 2010

The 2010 Building Block Picture Book Award election is being held at your local branch from September 1 through December 31. Children not yet in first grade may vote for their favorite title from the list of nominees. Participating in this election is fun for children, but don’t tell them it’s good for them, too. Pick up the list of nominees and a ballot at your local branch. 

The purpose of the Missouri Building Block Picture Book Award is to encourage language development and pre-reading skills through reading aloud. It will also encourage the development of visual perception discrimination, and introduce children to diverse themes, cultures and topics.

This year’s nominees are:

• I Can Do It Myself! By Diane Adams
• The Great Dog Wash by Shellie Braeuner
• Put It On the List! By Kristen Darbyshire
• The Pout-Pout Fish by Deborah Diesen
• The Birthday Pet by Ellen Javernick
• Are You A Horse? By Andy Rash
• Duck! Rabbit! By Amy Rosenthal
• Princess Pig by Eileen Spinelli
• Can You Make A Scary Face? By Jan Thomas
• Rhyming Dust Bunnies by Jan Thomas
