Mock Caldecott Award

The first graders have been reading Caldecott books. I decided to try holding a Mock Caldecott award this year. I chose 4 books that had been highly praised to read to the first graders. We read:
Mr. Tiger Goes Wild by Peter Brown
Mr. Wuffles by David Wiesner
Journey by Aaron Becker
Locomotive by Brian Floca
Last week each first grader voted Caldecott style. They gave their favorite book 4 points, their next favorite 3 points, then 2 and 1. I totaled them up and the Astor winners are:

1st place: Journey with 105 points! 
2nd place: Mr. Wuffles with 104 points!
3rd place: Mr. Tiger Goes Wild
4th place: Locomotive
