Award Winning Books – What do you think?

We have looked at several book awards recently during library class, such as the Show Me Readers Award, the Mark Twain Award, the Caldecott Award, and the Newbery Award. Have you read any of the award books this year? If so, which ones have you read? Did you like them? What did you like about them?

If you haven’t read any yet this year, which award books do you want to read? Why do you want to read them?

I can’t wait to hear your responses!

Your library lady,

Mrs. Matzat

    I have not read any award winning books fully yet but my whole class is reading a Mark Twain book and it is really good. It is called Million Dollar Put. So far it is about this kid who is blind and his name is Bogy. He meat this girl named Birdey. He likes her onley he is too scared to tell her. What we just read before we came here was that Bogy and Birdey just got back from a locial golf cores and Bogy got in trouble by his dad. His dad told Bogy that his mom got struk by lightning and his dad desited never to play golf again. Birdey’s parents just got home from hunting I think and she didn’t even get in trouble altough she was soacking wet. Well that is all we read today but I will come back to the cumputer when I get home and tell you some more.

    Dear Mrs. Matzat,
    I am reading this one book called The Night I Disapeared. Doesn’t that title give you the goose bumps? It sure gives me the goose bumps. I’ve read a little and I know this book will satisfie me. It’s about this girl who goes to this school and she doesn’t fit in. Her moms a lawyer and doesn’t spend to much time with her daughter. Right now here moms doing a case in Chicago. And now the daughter has met a friend named Morgan. They met because Jamie (the daughter) got into a bik crash and know Jamie has a friend who can show her around Chicago. See you next week.
    Your reader,
    Madlen Brown
