Charlotte Recommended Reading List
Just found out Absolutely Not made the list for this year’s New York State Reading Association’s Charlotte Recommended Reading List. The Charlotte Committee from 2002 to 2005 reviewed books from over thirty publishers, and the selections were compiled when each of the Charlotte Members presented their final top ten in January. (A PDF of the entire list is available here)
The Ladybug Award
It turns out Absolutely Not is one of ten books nominated for this year’s LADYBUG Picture Book Award.
The LADYBUG award was created by the Children’s Librarians of New Hampshire to complement the Great Stone Face Award. A committee of children’s librarians from around the state picks ten picture book titles a year to compete for the Ladybug Award. During Children’s Book Week in November, New Hampshire children from preschoolers to grade three select the winner.
As a result of this nomination, I will be setting up a campaign office in Concord, effective immediately. Children of New Hampshire, can I expect your vote this November?
Kansas Recommended Reading List
Absolutely Not has been selected for the Kansas State Reading Circle 2005 Recommended Reading List. Go Kansas! You have excellent taste.
